About
Bio
I have been practicing pediatric and adolescent medicine for 10 years. I grew up in New York, and came to Philadelphia for medical school. There is nothing greater than working with children!! Over the last few years, I have travelled internationally providing care for children around the world. Locally, in Philadelphia, I serve as a volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corps, as well as run my solo practice, Premier Pediatrics.
Personally, I love spending time with my 3 children, and my fabulous dog!!
