University of Rochester Medicine Golisano Children's Hospital - Pediatric Surgery

601 Elmwood Ave

I strive to treat all patients and families with a teamwork approach, in which we all work together to provide the best outcome for the child. I believe that inclusive, multidisciplinary care for the whole patient (body and mind) is a key to success in today's healthcare environment. I promise to give my very best to help you and your child through whatever challenges you are facing.

I love being a pediatric surgeon because I am able to help children through surgery. It is very gratifying to make a profound impact on someone's life, particularly when they are so young. There are different challenges in infants, particularly those with severe congenital diseases. I find this motivates me to do my very best. To this end, I treat all general and thoracic neonatal and pediatric surgical diseases.

Areas of expertise: • Pediatric general and thoracic surgery • Pediatric surgical critical care • Pediatric minimally invasive surgery
