Bio
After 27 years in primary care private practice, I joined the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Louisville School of Medicine where I am currently the director of the newborn nursery at U of Louisville Hospital. I have a special interest in toddler behavior, and I offer parenting workshops on dealing with the issues involved in caring for toddlers.
