Biography

I am a board-certified pediatrician and diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine with 27+ years of clinical experience. I provide holistic, comprehensive, individualized care with a focus on both physical and emotional well-being. My approach to pediatrics is rooted in building strong partnerships with children, adolescents, and their families.

I emphasize the importance of a balanced lifestyle that includes nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, and stress management. These pillars are central to both prevention and treatment in my practice. I believe that each patient deserves care that reflects their unique needs, circumstances, and strengths.

I am passionate about teaching future clinicians to approach care with the same whole-child philosophy—one that is grounded in science, compassion, and respect for the family unit.
