“Taking care of children is an honor unlike anything else in the world.”

My Approach

Taking care of children is an honor unlike anything else in the world. As a physician and surgeon, I have the privilege of helping children with problems involving the neck, airway, ears, nose and throat. When a patient is able to breathe and sleep better, become more active in sports, and hear better in the classroom, I know that I am making a difference.

Childhood is arguably one of the most important experiences of our lifetime, and I have never let go of my inner child. Children are unique individuals; I approach them with compassion and make sure that they are comfortable during each visit. I take the time out to listen carefully to what they have to say.

It is a source of pride to work at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, where everyone I work with shares a common goal: to provide the best possible care for all children. This pride shines through everything that I do, from performing the basic clinic evaluations to providing the most innovative surgical treatment approaches available.
