My care philosophy
I am passionate about rehabilitation medicine for children to advance abilities and realize the functional potential of each child and young adult. My goal is to provide patient and family goal-directed care. I start clinic visits asking "What are your concerns or major questions for our visit?" I believe in treating the child (or young adult) as a whole and strive for clear communication between me, your child or young adult, your family, therapists and other medical care providers.
