As a pediatrician, it has been a tremendous privilege to care for my patients and their families for over 25 years. From birth to young adulthood, I treat common illnesses and refer patients to specialty care when necessary.
Beginning at birth, I monitor the growth and development of my patients and provide appropriate medical interventions if necessary. I also counsel and reassure parents as they deal with the various challenges of raising children. In the school-age child, I address learning problems and psychosocial issues to help my patients grow up to be happy, healthy, and successful young adults.

When I was a young girl, my family’s doctor was very gentle and compassionate. I grew up wanting to be a doctor, like him. With hard work and support from my family, I was able to realize that dream.
I enjoy exploring other cultures through cooking and traveling. I also enjoy going on walks and hikes with my family.
I am married to my husband, Thomas, and we are blessed with two sons. The Mohawk Valley has been our home for over 20 years.
