"I am privileged and honored to be entrusted with the care of children. I seek to partner with parents to ensure the well-being, development and overall good health of their children. My own pediatrician inspired me to become a physician. I admired how he made a point to talk to patients and not just to their parents."

What is a Pediatrician? 

Pediatricians are physicians who care for infants, children, adolescents and young adults. They play a vital role in your child's life — helping them grow up healthy, safe and happy. Children have different health care needs than adults — both medical and emotional. Choosing a pediatrician gives you the reassurance that your child is being treated by an expert in children's health.

Your pediatrician will manage your child's total health care needs, including:

  • Growth and development
  • Illnesses
  • Nutrition
  • Immunizations
  • Injuries
  • Physical Fitness
  • Behavior
  • Emotional or family problems
  • Learning and other school problems
  • Preventing and dealing with drug abuse
  • Puberty and other teen issues

Pediatricians may work with teachers and other adults in child care centers, schools and after-school programs. If your child has a very special or complex problem, your pediatrician can refer him or her to another specialist for further help, if needed.
