Occupation

NURSE PRACTITIONER

"I believe that children, parents and their providers must work together as a team to provide excellent pediatric healthcare. Every child is unique and special in his or her own way therefore, providing each child and family individualized attention and care is essential. It is important to provide compassionate care, counseling and support in additon to connecting with my patients and their families in effective and meaningful ways. I also realize I am fortunate to receive wisdom from parents and children to help myself become a better provider and I thank you for allowing me to become part of your family."
