Good health starts with the family unit

As a father, I understand how quickly children grow—and how their needs can shift from week to week. I also recognize the importance of caring for a child within the context of their family, culture, and environment.

My journey as a pediatrician has taken me across the country, caring for children in a wide range of settings—from the newborn nursery and emergency department to the intensive care unit. These experiences have shaped my belief that good health goes beyond medical treatment. It’s about supporting the whole child—and the whole family—at every stage.

Lifestyle, environment, and relationships all play a vital role in healthy development and managing illness. At our practice, we are committed to providing thoughtful, compassionate care that reflects this holistic approach.
