“I am grateful for the opportunity to build long-term relationships with families, guiding them through important stages of their child’s life. Pediatric medicine also gives me the chance to prevent, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, helping children and young adults live their healthiest lives.”
Why I Became a Doctor
I became a pediatrician because I’m passionate about working with children and supporting their growth and development. I find tremendous joy in helping kids, adolescents and young adults navigate life’s mental, social and medical challenges.
Philosophy of Care
As a pediatrician, my philosophy of care centers on providing compassionate, comprehensive and personalized care to children and their families. I believe in treating each child as an individual, taking the time to listen, understand their unique needs, and empower families with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their child’s health.
Favorite Part of Practicing Medicine
My favorite thing about being a pediatrician is the opportunity to have a positive impact on a child and their family that will last a lifetime. It also gives me the opportunity to stay up to date on the newest and most innovative trends in pediatric medicine.
Clinical Interests
I love everything about my profession, but I am particularly interested in exploring the interplay between medical diagnoses and social/mental health.
Hobbies & Personal Interests
I’m originally from Buffalo, NY. I live with my wife in Helotes. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, cooking and rooting for the Bills.
