About
It is a privilege to be entrusted by patients and their families when they come for medical care and often are in vulnerable state. I believe as a physician, I may or may not cure, but I can always help and make a difference. My goal is to work with patients and parents to ensure every child achieves physical and mental health to their fullest potential.
