"I always wanted to be a pediatrician, and my interest in dermatology was sparked when I realized how many children suffer from skin disorders. I love working in a children's hospital and helping patients and their families manage skin conditions which are often visible and can have a profound impact on quality of life. I feel privileged when someone entrusts me with the care of their child, and I strive to treat every patient as I would want my own child treated."
