Care Philosophy: From the start of my medical career, I have always understood that building strong relationships between physicians, patients, and their family is integral to the success of treating chronically ill children. Children with gastrointestinal disorders, acute or long-term, can be difficult for both the patient and their families. My utmost priority is to understand my patient's needs and create a supportive and warm environment of mutual understanding and strong communication between myself and families By working together and evaluating and treating the patient holistically, I am able to provide the best medical care for my patients to optimize their health and happiness.
