Get to Know Me
I discovered my passion for radiology in medical school. I enjoy working with doctors in all specialties and using my knowledge and expertise in pediatric imaging, particularly heart and body imaging, to help ensure correct diagnosis and treatment. In 2022, I transitioned from Nemours Radiologist-in-Chief to Chief Medical Officer of Nemours Children’s Health, Central Florida. While I still participate in pediatric radiology, the majority of my time is now spent ensuring that all our clinicians are able to practice their specialties as safely and exceptionally as possible.
Why I Treat Children
To be able to participate in the care of a child and see the look on a parent’s face when they’re given good news about an imaging exam is extremely satisfying. As a radiologist, working with children also allows me to keep up my skills in all types of imaging. We have many tools, including X-rays, ultrasound, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), nuclear medicine and fluoroscopy (“moving” X-rays), to diagnose children with many different conditions.
What I'm Passionate About
In recent years there have been tremendous advances in imaging techniques to diagnose digestive, urinary, heart and breathing problems in children. I am passionate about using these technologies to help pediatric patients at Nemours — and about continuing the search for new ways to advance the science of pediatric imaging for the benefit of children everywhere. Outside of radiology, I am passionate about ensuring that all Nemours clinicians have what they need to help achieve our goal of being the recognized leaders in pediatric healthcare in Florida and beyond.
How I Try to Make A Difference
As Chief Medical Officer of Nemours Children’s Health, Central Florida, the best way I can make a difference is by helping to create an environment in which our faculty and staff can practice their specialty at the highest level of excellence, quality, and safety, and by expanding our reach to positively impact as many children and families in Florida as possible.
