Starting as a solo practice, Bridgewater Pediatrics has grown to include 5 pediatricians, 8 nurse practitioners, 3 behavioral health clinicians, 2 lactation consultants, and a nutritionist.

I have enjoyed the practice of general pediatrics for over 30 years. My ambition is to nurture children and families so that they can flourish. I utilize a holistic, family-centered approach to pediatrics, emphasizing the care of physical, emotional, academic, and spiritual needs of children. My goal is to provide high quality pediatric medical care in a caring, compassionate manner.
