Provider Expertise
Clinical Interest for Patients
I am interested in caring for children with abdominal pain, constipation, encopresis, reflux, celiac disease, IBS, short bowel syndrome, and liver conditions.
Care Philosophy
I am passionate about the health and well being of children and have dedicated my professional life to providing the highest quality of care to my patients. As a mother of a chronically ill child, I understand how important it is for your child to be treated as an individual and not let their condition or disease define them. I strive to help your child achieve optimal health through promoting healthy lifestyle and disease prevention.
