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...

We love Dr King. She is great interacting with teenagers making my son feel heard and including him in his overall care plan. Very kind and understanding. She handles sensitive subject without damaging self esteem or putting anyone down.
