About Me

Medical Director, Pediatric Otolaryngology, Joe DiMaggio Children's Health Specialty Center – Wellington

I am a Pediatric Otolaryngologist at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital and the medical director of the Pediatric Otolaryngology program in Wellington, serving the Palm Beach and Broward community. I treat children with a variety of ear nose and throat conditions, including chronic ear infections, hearing loss, tonsil and adenoid disease, congenital syndromes, noisy breathing, voice disorders and sinus disease.

I knew I wanted to be a doctor at a very young age, and was inspired by my uncle, who is a neonatologist. Pediatric Otolaryngology was the perfect fit for me, because it incorporates science, medicine, surgery and compassionate care. There was the unique opportunity to address conditions that profoundly affect a child’s ability to hear, breathe, sleep and thrive.   

I am passionate about fostering trust and comfort because care extends past the clinic or hospital. No matter what the concern is, each child and their family are unique. My goal is to help families navigate their child’s health concerns and guide treatment options through medical or surgical recommendations.

In addition to providing patient care, I am actively involved in teaching medical students and young doctors as they embark on their careers in medicine. I also enjoy community outreach and activities. 
Before joining Memorial, I spent 6.5 years providing care to the families of south Texas. I developed the department of Pediatric Otolaryngology for Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, as part of Children's Physician Services of South Texas.
