Care Philosophy: ``I chose pediatric medicine as a career at the very end of my medical training. It wasn't until my last rotation in medical school that it became clear that pediatrics was a perfect fit for me. When treating patients, I try to take the whole picture into accountfamily, social issues, school, environment, etc. This helps to provide a clear understanding and direction for the medical advice I provide to my patients and their families.``
