| Quote: | "I enjoy the privilege of being a pediatrician. it is important for me to interact with the child and the family. I strive to help children achieve their optimal growth and development. I have special interests in infant and child development, learning and behavior, and, in particular, ADHD. My interest in nutrition has proved to be a valuable resource for our patients." |
