"I am a board certified pediatrician and a homeopath. I became interested in complementary medicine after I completed a residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric infectious disease and microbiology. In addition, I spent 1 year in Ethiopia as a volunteer aid worker where I had an opportunity to see many infectious diseases first hand. I enjoy incorporating traditional western allopathic medicine with nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, functional medicine, in my practice so that I can offer them to you and your children. I have a special interest in children with ADD/ADHD, encopresis, autoimmune disorders and gastrointestinal issues. I will present the recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics on pediatric health care issues including vaccines during your health care visits, but it is your opportunity to make choices about what is right for you and your child. I see my role as to inform and educate and your role to make decisions best suited for your family. I am the mother of two children and a wife and I know these relationships have expanded my understanding of what it takes to parent. I share with you the joy and frustration we all feel in being the best parent we can be. I look forward to learning with you as you learn from me."
