Welcome to My Health Information Web Site for Infants, Children, Adolescents
I believe all my patients should have access to useful health information. I provide this website to share answers to commonly asked questions during 38 years of practice.

When I started my practice in the early years I was easily accessible to the media. This gave me the opportunity to share important topics related to children. I concentrated on safety issues but was also called upon to speak on the health issue of the day. Click here [ Videos ]
