My Journey to Pediatric Surgery

“As a pediatric surgeon, I have the honor and privilege to take care of an innocent patient who despite their sometimes misfortune, has a long and fulfilling future ahead of them. The ability and responsibility to help a child and their family recover from an illness, congenital defect or poor quality of life is what I enjoy the most about pediatric surgery.

It is rewarding to watch my patients recover and remain involved in their lives as they grow.

This purpose drives me to provide the best care possible for my patients to enhance our community.”

My Clinical Focus

"I have experience managing all aspects of neonatal and pediatric surgery. My main focus is working with children born with congenital colorectal issues such as anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung's disease. In addition, I am passionate about helping achieve the best quality of life for them as they get older. I believe minimally invasive surgery is important if possible for all the benefits it provides with all my patients."
