About Me
As a child abuse pediatrician at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Langone, I am deeply committed to providing trauma-informed and child-friendly care. I specialize in child abuse pediatrics, offering compassionate care to children who may have experienced abuse. My passion lies in the psychosocial aspects of medicine and its profound impact on health. I am dedicated to helping families navigate the child protection system, ensuring they receive the support and guidance they need.
With extensive training and years of experience, I prepare children for their physical exams by explaining each step and giving them choices, including whether to proceed with the exam. This approach helps to empower and comfort them during a challenging time. Additionally, as a general pediatrician, I adopt a holistic view of child abuse evaluations, making well-child and specialty referrals as needed to ensure comprehensive care.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of involving patients and families in the care process. At º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Langone, I am proud to collaborate with my colleagues, providing coordinated care that prioritizes the wellbeing of each child. My team and I are dedicated to referring families to essential services, such as mental health support to address their broader needs. This commitment to fostering strong partnerships and responsiveness ensures a positive and supportive patient experience.
