get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I enjoy children immensely. They are very resilient, open minded, interested, and unique.

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

it is a close knit community of physicians and gives me the opportunity to teach.

Dayton Children's is special because...

Small community of health care providers so I feel that we are able to personalize our care. There is very dedicated staff who are committed to the care of the children in our community.

A lot of helpful information that was given in ways my child can understand and doable for a parent. We were treated very respectfully and without judgement.

My teenager was NOT very interested in going to her initial appointment. She didn't want people telling her things she had to stop doing and taking over her life. She was much more engaged than I thought possible at her appointment. When we left, she began reviewing all the resources given to her immediately and has begun to try to incorporate suggestions. By that evening she had already tried one of the recipes and begun adding recommended snacks to her snack bin. The thing that I think engaged her the most was that the recommendations met her where she was at. Instead of telling her what she can't eat, it was about adding healthy food to it
