I provide care to children from birth through young adulthood who have complex urology health care needs. These children often have unique struggles when seeking health care. I have extensive knowledge in caring for children with special needs, including those who have experienced physical and sexual abuse. I was a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) in New Hampshire for many years and take pride in caring for these patients with the utmost compassion. I believe in using a collaborative approach with my patients. Each child and situation is unique. By understanding the needs and desires of my patients and their family members, I can better help them. I strive to be a good listener, kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I am a strong advocate for my patients, their families, and their needs. Helping my patients and their families gain a sense of control and power over their medical needs or disorders is very fulfilling. I enjoy working with children for their innocence and their honesty. Helping care for our smallest humans is vital work.

Parents tell me their kids get excited to come to the doctor's office when they hear they will be seeing me. I have always connected with children on a special level. Often, I find they're comfortable with me even during our first visit. I love infants and children. Interacting with them and watching them grow and reach developmental and physical milestones is my favorite part of my job. Likewise, working with parents and helping them navigate the obstacles and miracles of raising children is extremely fulfilling. Parents tell me I am gentle, kind and calm with their children. Interacting at each child's level is key. I provide my care in a manner that is most comfortable for the family, whether my patient is sitting on a parent's lap or on the exam table. I am careful to explain everything thoroughly, from the tools I am using, to exams performed, and why I ask certain questions. I outline every diagnosis, how I came to it, and what my treatment plan is so everyone knows how to best care for my patients. My top priority is ensuring the care I provide is part of a team effort. The opinions of my patients and their parents matter. All questions are welcome. I am here to validate each concern, no matter how small.
