As a pediatric otolaryngologist, I specialize in diseases of the head and neck in children, which includes ear infections, sleep apnea, hearing loss, airway problems, and voice or swallowing problems. Many important functions, such as breathing, speaking, and hearing, happen in the head and neck.

I became a mother during my residency, and suddenly I could relate to parents on a different level than before. When faced with difficult decisions, I ask myself, “Would I do this for my own child?” I care for each child as I would for my own, and my patients' safety is a top priority in the decisions I make.

I value educating family members about their child's condition and empowering them in the decision-making process. It's important to me that families feel they are involved in their child's care.
