About
Bio
I have been in Pediatric practice for 19 years, first in the New England area, and now in Southeast Georgia. I am also involved in international medical mission work in Haiti. I love my patients, and love being there to help parents take care of and really enjoy their children. My own children are the most wonderful blessings I have been given. I believe that parents need support, self confidence and good information and that, if they trust their instincts and have good doctors to turn to, all will be well!
