From the Doctor
My approach to pediatric care is to break down any barriers patients have with their doctors. I examine babies and toddlers on their parents' laps so they don't cry. I try to provide a good patient experience, so children and their parents feel comfortable at their visits.
When I'm not helping my own patients, I volunteer with Dreams Come True, which assists children who are battling life-threatening illnesses. I also help out at The PLAYERS Championship.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog, sailing and boating on the St. Johns River, and reading.
