get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I have always been very interested in how the brain can control the many things we do in life. It is fascinating to me how an individual exists in two states of life - awake and asleep.

I like working with kids because...

they are innocent and vulnerable and need help.

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

it takes very good care of it's healthcare workers and provides a good environment to deliver care.

Dayton Children's is special because...

it employs a diverse group of people and serves a unique function to deliver care to a community that is diverse.

Rude and made me feel like what I was saying didn't matter. Was mad at me because I cancelled my daughters sleep psychology apt... would not recommend this man to anyone he makes you feel like you're not being heard and like you want to drug your kid told me to give melatonin on top of Clonidine which doesn't make sense to me. But I was afraid to ask him any questions because he made me feel stupid. His personality comes across as someone who doesn't actually care about your child and just wants to refer them somewhere else and makes you feel like YOURE the problem.

The nurses and the doctors were absolutely great. The nurse came in. She was absolutely amazing. She explained everything to us. She was 100% awesome. The doctors were great. I am extremely happy with the visit and how things went.

The doctor was very friendly, outgoing, very easy to understand, answered all the questions that we had and made my son and I feel very comfortable with the next steps of doing the sleep study and what we needed to do to prepare for the sleep study and we felt very comfortable with all the answers that we got and it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

My grandson was nervous to be at the doctor, but the doctor made him feel at ease. And he was very understanding and very explanatory about what was going on and everything. He was very good with my child.
