I am a board-certified physician specializing in pediatrics. My professional interests include breastfeeding, newborns, parenting, twins, adolescent medicine, asthma, preventive care and wellness care. I believe in the benefits of vaccines. I am willing to take the time at one visit to educate about the actual benefits and risks of vaccines. If parents wish to delay or opt out of vaccines, I am not a good fit for them.
I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Best part of my work: I enjoy the continuity of caring for children through the years and seeing them grow up.
Why I became a physician: I like helping people.
Personal interests: Reading, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, yoga, horses, spending time with my family.
What patients say about me: My patients say that they can tell I genuinely care about them and that I love my job. Being a mother myself makes me a better doctor.
What is something you're most proud of? Being a parent has been the most rewarding and most difficult job I've ever had. I have three birth children. Within our family we have experienced foster children, adoptions, half siblings, step, special needs and high-IQ children.
