Care Philosophy
I believe every child deserves the same care I would want for my own family— thoughtful, evidence-based, and delivered with compassion. Surgery is never just a technical act; it’s a moment of vulnerability for families and a responsibility I take deeply to heart. I prioritize clear communication, partnership with parents, and a team-based approach to healing.
