Philosophy of Care
My goal is to help children breathe easily and reach their athletic potential. Early recognition of respiratory disease in children and young athletes is essential in preventing unnecessary distress, decreased performance, and long-term damage to the lungs. Furthermore, there is a growing body of research demonstrating the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of exercise for many chronic medical conditions. We help young athletes and chronically ill children exercise safely, optimize their performance and improve the prognosis of their underlying conditions.
