get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

Hospital Medicine offers an opportunity to treat a broad array of medical problems. It is a unique field which allows me to work with multiple subspecialists that may be involved in the child's care and focus on the child's medical problem as a whole; with the goal to achieve the best treatment plan for an individual child. Hospitalized patients tend to have acute medical problems and it can be a very stressful time for the families. It feels immensely rewarding to offer support to them while taking care of the patient.

I like working with kids because...

kids by nature are fun loving and fun sharing. Hearing the innocent voices of children and seeing their faces lighten up with fervor when they feel better, brings boundless joy. As a pediatrician, work is never dull and tiring. More so, the ability to share your knowledge and expertise to positively impact a child's health definitely brings a feeling of happiness and fulfillment.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

the environment at Dayton Children’s is very warm and welcoming. I am amazed at the hospital’s vision to provide high quality care to the local community and at the same time strive towards improving patient and family experience.
