My patients are from all over Southern Colorado and New Mexico, ages range from newborn to late teens. I am so lucky to be a part of the supportive Colorado Springs community.

Experience and background
Throughout medical school and pediatric residency, the pediatric pulmonologists always were very happy and really seemed to love their jobs. When I did my first rotation with pediatric pulmonary in my first year of residency, I found that as a pulmonologist, you get to work all over the hospital and have close continuity with your patients throughout their lifetime in the clinic. I also fell in love with doing bronchoscopies during residency and then continued to grow that interest since fellowship.
