Biography

I am an experienced pediatric anesthesiologist and have been privileged to take care of children at CNMC over these last 26 years. I have been known as an international expert in Ultrasound assisted vascular access in children and often I am sought out to help with difficult vascular access and difficult airway. I enjoy my job because I consider it a calling to safely anesthetize children with simple or complicated medical history during any type of surgery.
