About Us
From Our Family to Yours
In my years as a Pediatric Gastroenterologist, I have been responsible for managing thousands of patients. However, nothing could prepare me for the stress and anxiety associated with taking care of premature twins.
As is the case for most parents – it has been quite a journey! My wife and I have gained a great deal of knowledge caring for our little ‘peanuts’ – from the moment they entered the NICU until today. Along the way, we have come to understand that every child is different and each child faces his or her own unique challenges. Moreover, parents are faced with an endless list of decisions and innumerable choices when it comes to their child’s health.
It is with this in mind, that we have made it our mission to provide parents with the most up-to-date clinical knowledge and scientific data to help guide their decision making when it comes to their child‘s health. We hope this information empowers parents and serves to improve the lives of our patients. Lastly and most importantly, we area always available to answer any questions!
