My life's purpose is to improve medical opportunities for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. I firmly believe that every child deserves utmost support from their medical team, school, and community to help them thrive. This triad of medical care, educational support, and community resources serves as a vital safety net for their future.

Drawing from personal experience within my own family affected by special needs, I connect with patients and their families, understanding the complexities of their journeys. In my clinic, I aspire to be more than just a doctor; I aim to be a steadfast supporter, fully committed to accompanying you on your journey.
