About
Biography
My pediatrician inspired me to become a physician. My clinical specialty is emergency medicine, while my area of research focuses on high-risk populations and disparities in care. I observed that standardizing care helps ensure that patients receive evidence-based, quality care — no matter when or where they present and regardless of their background.
I am certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics in Emergency Medicine. My work is published in well-respected journals such as Journal of Pediatrics, Annals of Emergency Medicine, Journal of Emergency Medicine, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Pediatrics, Hospital Pediatrics and Pediatric Quality and Safety.
