About Me

I’m a board-certified, fellowship trained developmental pediatrician. I evaluate and diagnose children who may have autism, learning, speech-language, attention and sleep disorders. I love my patients and their families. It’s important that they have access to quality, compassionate health care that understands their unique needs. With nurturing care, each child can reach their fullest potential.
