Get to Know Me

I鈥檓 a Delaware Valley native who knew at age 4, that I wanted to go to medical school. I married my high school sweetheart, and our family includes biological, adopted, and foster children. As an intensivist, I wear two hats at duPont Hospital for Children: pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist and Medical Director of the Cardiac ICU.

Why I Treat Children

Medicine is a perfect way to combine my love of science and my desire to have a career serving others. Children are a joy to treat because they鈥檙e so resilient, and they confront life with whatever life hands them. Caring for children is in line with my priorities.

What I'm Passionate About

I live by the philosophy that, 鈥渨e can never feel the pinch of someone else鈥檚 shoes,鈥 That is, we just don鈥檛 know what it鈥檚 like to be in someone else鈥檚 position. It鈥檚 important to avoid being judgmental. I would also like to see medicine move back toward the art of pure healing.

How I Try to Make A Difference

I think we can make the biggest difference by listening, by understanding a patient鈥檚 and family鈥檚 story. Their needs come first.

I鈥檓 also involved in multi-center research that integrates information about outcomes from various national and international databases. Through this data, we find ways to improve the quality of care.
