Aside from being a mother myself, it has been my great privilege to be a pediatrician. I completed my training at the Mayo Clinic, where I learned both the art and the science of medicine. I have been in practice now for 3 decades and have seen many of my former patients become parents themselves. I enjoy all aspects of pediatrics, but I do have a particular interest in the care of preterm infants, medically complex children, adopted/fostered children, and older teens and young adults. Thank you for allowing me to take part in the care of your family.
