Atrium Health Provider
Accepts New Patients
Treats Only Children
In-person visits only“My motivation for work is my own children. If my child were sick, I would do anything to find out what was wrong and get them feeling better. I try to put myself in another parent's position and work together as a team to find a solution to their child’s issues. A lot of medicine is about communication, dedication and working together to figure out a solution to a problem.”
