What I really love most about my job is working with patients and their families. Even though there are many times where I can't change the situation or take the disease away, I want families to know that I'll always be there to walk them through tough situations and to support them. Knowing that someone truly cares about your child makes all the difference.
I feel so blessed that I get to make such a positive difference in a young person's life. One of my patients who had a kidney transplant just graduated from eighth grade. I went to her graduation ceremony, and she thanked me for always being there for her and supporting her. Knowing that I'm able to help in that way is truly rewarding. It doesn't get much better than that.

The kidney is a complicated and extremely smart organ. It can quite resilient and bounce back, just like kids! When families come in, I enjoy helping them understand their child's diagnosis and treatment options, tailoring the approach to each family's unique situation. As a pediatric nephrologist, I use evidenced-based treatments to empower my patients to feel better and to become the best version of themselves.
