Additional Information
My clinical practice is predominantly pediatric clinical genetics, focusing on dysmorphic (abnormal) features or birth defects, intellectual disability, inborn errors of metabolism, neurological conditions, and family history of genetic conditions, though family members of all ages are welcome. My research interests include contiguous gene deletion syndromes, the molecular aspects of genetic diseases, and prenatal diagnosis of genetic conditions.

Philosophy of Care
I believe in conducting my practice in a professional and courteous manner. It is very important to me that I explain, teach and discuss testing, treatment and follow-up options with my patients and their families in a straight-forward, plain-spoken manner, without the use of extensive medical language. This enables my patients to better understand what may often be complicated genetic conditions, so we can develop a consensus plan together, based on the family's needs. My concern and focus is more on clinical diagnosis, genetic counseling, and recurrence risk to other family members rather than genetic testing just for the sake of testing. Furthermore, I strive toward a tiered, rational and systematic approach, based on the most likely and highest yield for a diagnosis, while taking into consideration what would be the least burdensome for the family. I welcome questions from families and primary care providers, and believe in communicating results directly to the family, not just to one's physician(s). Accordingly, I give families the opportunity to discuss abnormal or positive results in person at a follow-up appointment.
