Biography
I am a pediatric gastroenterology doctor who treats children with all digestive system conditions. I have a special interest in eosinophilic esophagitis and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. I am also interested in inflammatory bowel disease and effectively transitioning patients with chronic gastrointestinal conditions from pediatric to adult care.
I aim to approach the patient as a whole, within the context of their family, schooling, activities and other interests. I enjoy working with patients and their families in shared decision-making to help achieve the best outcomes for the patient.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, cooking, traveling, hiking and skiing.
