    Philosophy of Care

    I believe that the most important elements of a doctor-patient relationship are communication, empathy and trust, and I aim to develop strong partnerships with each family I see in clinic. As a developmental pediatrician, I provide developmental, behavioral and medical assessments of children with a wide range of developmental and learning difficulties. I also have an important role supporting families who are concerned about their child's development and behavior, and informing them of recent advances in our understanding of developmental conditions and treatment approaches. My goal is to empower parents as they advocate for their child. I am excited about the future of the field of developmental pediatrics -- I believe that we will continue to provide families and children with more robust evidence for our practices and treatments, use expanding technologies in our management plans and offer more interdisciplinary teams integrated into the community to help children with special needs.
