About
Bio
I'm a board certified pediatrician and I've been with ABC Pediatrics since 1996. I enjoy working with new parents and children of all ages, including teens. Since my daughter was adopted from China, I have a special interest in caring for internationally adopted children. Out of the office, I'm a fan of many sports, especially the San Francisco Giants. I'm hoping that my daughter will be a baseball fan, but my husband is trying to raise a comic-book and tech geek. So far, he's winning.
SpecialtiesDoctors may have more than one area of specialty interest.
