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.

Very professional and honest. Not only did they listen to me but they listened to my child. Not many professionals do that.

Everything has been good here. The only frustration I'm having is that my kid has finally had a few completely symptom free days but now can't get in for follow up / release to sports until 2/6 (today is 2/1) last visit was the 27th. Just a little frustrating since he passed his testing and was ok but for some headaches that have subsided now. Thanks!
