Approach to care

I love taking care of children and their families and am honored to be a part of my patients' lives. I believe that preventive medicine is the cornerstone of pediatric care and I am passionate about two of the most important aspects of preventive care: nutrition and vaccination. Specifically, I strongly endorse a whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. I believe in a collaborative approach to patient care, working with families in the context of their community to help kids stay healthy and reach their potential.

I support the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health.
