As a pediatric dermatologist, I strive to provide the highest quality sub-specialty care in a friendly, welcoming, and child-friendly clinic atmosphere. I enjoy all aspects of pediatric dermatology, but I have a particular interest in the management of vascular birthmarks such as infantile hemangiomas, capillary malformations, and complex vascular birthmarks. I also enjoy the challenge of treating chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, acne, and genetic skin diseases. I have specialized pediatric dermatologic surgical training and perform surgeries both at Heater Road and at the Outpatient Surgery Center. I am passionate about teaching, and I strive to provide my patients and their families with clear, detailed, and thoughtfully presented information. I also believe that it is important to address the potential psychological and emotional effect of visible dermatologic conditions, and I try to offer strategies for children and their families that help reduce this impact. My areas of clinical research interest include using technology to create novel shared decision making and educational tools for patients and their families, and I publish regularly on this topic. I am an active member of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology, the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance, and the American Academy of Dermatology.

I enjoy working in partnership with my patients. I listen to their concerns and ask about their goals and expectations. Whether their goal is to hike Mt. Moosilauke or to play with their grandchildren, I want to be help them get back to what brings them joy and returns them to the life they want. Quality of life is important! Recovering from an injury can take time. If a patient feels discouraged about their progress, I can help show them how far they’ve come by referring them back to their own statements about how they were feeling earlier in treatment. By using patient-reported outcomes, I can say, “This is where you were, and this is where you are now” so they can clearly see their progress. My patients and I work collaboratively to help return them to the highest level of function possible based on their health issue and the evidence-based treatment options.
