I chose my specialty because...
I went into medical school thinking I would be an Emergency Room Physician. However, through my medical training, I learned my personality aligned with surgical subspecialty care. I always knew I would be treating children, so choosing a pediatric subspecialty was not difficult. I also wanted to be in a career that aligned well with my detailed personality, where I could perform microsurgery, and stay on the forefront of technological advances. I found the challenging mix of medical and surgical care in pediatric ophthalmology satisfied all of these requirements. Pediatric ophthalmology was the perfect choice for me.
I like working with kids because...
They motivate me to be a better person. Children can be blatantly honest and curious in the things they say and questions they ask. The multitude of topics we talk about typically lead me to learn something new each day.
I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...
I become part of a system of pediatric subspecialists that enables families to receive exceptional care close to home.
Dayton Children's is special because...
Dayton Children's Hospital offers world class pediatric subspecialty care in a community setting. It is a privilege for me to provide care to children and families in the Dayton area.
