get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I enjoy children immensely. They are very resilient, open minded, interested, and unique.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

it is a close knit community of physicians and gives me the opportunity to teach.

Dayton Children's is special because...

Small community of health care providers so I feel that we are able to personalize our care. There is very dedicated staff who are committed to the care of the children in our community.

Thank you so much for helping my children ?

Dr. King is the best doctor Children's Hospital has. Both of my children see her and she is always so thorough and explains everything and is never in a rush. I just love her to death and she is such a jewel and an asset for Children's Hospital.

I appreciated the providers concern over all aspects of my child's health not just her specific area of practice.
