As a pediatric surgeon, I specialize in the treatment of pediatric general, abdominal and thoracic disorders. I have a special interest in minimally invasive surgical procedures with training in advanced laparoscopic and thoracoscopic techniques. I believe in providing the safest and best care to children of all ages by pairing evidence-based clinical practice, with the latest surgical techniques. I love that I get to be a part of keeping them happy, healthy, and thriving. As a mom of two young children myself, I know how devastating it can be when your child is unwell. My goal is to make these difficult moments as manageable as possible by providing comfort, compassion, and clinical expertise. My patients benefit from clear and concise communication, as well as an excellent working relationship with other providers to deliver exceptional multidisciplinary care. In additional to General Surgery and Pediatric Surgery, I have also completed dedicated training with board certification in Pediatric Surgical Critical Care. This allows me a unique perspective in the management of the most critically ill children, as well as expertise in providing surgical care in the NICU, PICU, and emergency trauma settings. Iโve had the honor of being chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Donald Cherr, MD and Charles Schen, MD Exemplary Patient Care Award, as well being a past recipient of the Jameson L. Chassin, MD, FACS Award from the American College of Surgeons. This prestigious award is given in recognition for compassion, technical skill, and devotion to science and learning which I believe is essential to the practice of surgery. I know that you have a choice in who you trust to care for your child, and that for me is the greatest privilege of them all. I hope that if and when that time comes, you find comfort in knowing that your child will be in great hands and cared for as if they were my own.
