Philosophy of Care

As a pediatric sleep medicine physician, I believe in blending both behavioral and medical approaches to provide the best care possible. My goal is to help patients improve quality of life through the treatment of sleep disorders. I especially enjoy caring for patients with neurodevelopmental and other neuro-related disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder. I strive to partner with patients and families, share decision making, and provide exceptional care.
