get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

pediatric urology is full of conditions that can be treated and afterwards can lead to a normal, healthy life. There are many children who have problems with things that we all take for granted, such as having urinary control or being free from infections.

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

I like the people who work here. They are committed to giving the best care possible.

Dayton Children's is special because...

it is a free standing children's hospital which is dedicated to giving care to the children of the region.

Hi, yes, Dr. J was very, very nice. He had a wonderful bedside manner. He was very concerned and is doing what he can to get this taken care of as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend him.

This was one of the absolute best doctors I've seen. He was personable, made me feel comfortable, was gentle with my son, and obviously knew and was an expert in the topic we were there to discuss. I was very confident walking out. In fact, that was the first thing I said to my husband.

Dr. J was the most personable and most honest doctor we have ever met. He also explained medical terms to my son in a way he would understand.

Said the procedure would be painless for my Son and it definitely wasn't. After the procedure the Dr said my son was crying because he was nervous rather than in pain.
