get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I enjoy helping patients feel better and improving their quality of life. Neurological disorders such as epilepsy, chronic headaches/pain, Tourette's etc. can be so overwhelming and life changing. It is rewarding to help patients and their families overcome the challenges related to their diagnosis and live life to their fullest.

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

Dayton Children's truly cares about the kids and the families that walk through the door. The staff fully support Dayton Children's mission and it feels like a home away from home.

Dayton Children's is special because...

we are a free standing pediatric hospital with awesome staff who come to work because we enjoy providing excellent health care to our pediatric community.

There is very low availability for making next appointments, they are very limited. ..and they expect you to jump through their hoops.

Sara is wonderful, and she has seen two of our children, and we really like her, and trust her with their care. She does a great job, she listens, and she's a great person to be around in the office. Thank you. Bye.

She was very understanding and very helpful and explained things in a way that way easy to understand and follow not just for me but for my daughter as well.
