get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I wanted to help children safely participate in exercise and activity, while managing their illnesses and injuries appropriately.

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

I wanted to work in a setting which sees children as a unique population of patients who cannot simply be treated as small adults.

Dayton Children's is special because...

Dayton Children's is big enough to provide excellent care to children with a variety of conditions, but small enough that you know colleagues in other departments who see the same patients.

Dr. Scott is always very thorough and does a great job of explaining things. I like that she talks directly to my daughter and engages her in conversation . She is a strong advocate for her and encourages her along her journey of recovery and does everything she can to get her back to her baseline.
