get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

as a general pediatrician it is rewarding to oversee a child's preventive healthcare and also help them when they are sick.

I like working with kids because...

they are innocent and resilient.

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

it's focused on the community and providing services for children in the area.

Dayton Children's is special because...

it's a children's hospital large enough to have multiple specialities and services, yet has a very personable touch.

The provider is very kind, always very helpful. They always get the job done and obviously care about the children overall. Just very good providers.

We went to a different office so the experience was different. The doctor did not know our child, so the examination was more abrupt and shorter, with less explanation and exchange. We were told by the nurse we would receive a call with text results but we did not. By the time I checked my kids chart, the office was closed so I could not ask about the results. We ended up going to the emergency room the next day.

She was very understanding. She answered our questions quickly and she got us out of there in no time.
