As a physician, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and high-quality medical and surgical treatment for children. I care for the full spectrum of dermatologic disorders in newborns to young adults, with expertise in supportive oncodermatology, cutaneous oncology, and procedural dermatology. Each patient is unique, and I strive to partner with patients and their families to help them understand their child’s skin condition and find the best treatment. I am committed to continued education, teaching, and collaborative research to further improve the care of current and future patients. I am honored when parents entrust me with the care of their children and feel privileged when colleagues trust that I will provide exemplary care to their referred patients.
