My interest in medicine started during a high school summer internship where I was mesmerized by the environment of the operating room. I went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Texas A&M University. Following that, I attended medical school at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.<br /><br /> During my first year of medical school I was invited to the research laboratory of two of my great mentors and my interest in research was ignited. I enrolled in the graduate school and went on to receive my D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) and my Ph.D. in Integrative Physiology. I am proud of my D.O. degree as it has taught me a unique way of approaching the patient as a whole.<br /><br /> I completed my general surgery training at Carilion Clinic in Roanoke, VA. During my third year of residency I went on a mission trip to Haiti and knew Pediatric Surgery was the career for me. I spent a year doing research in Kansas City. It was one of the best years of my professional career, and my love for pediatric surgery only grew. I then had the wonderful opportunity to complete my Pediatric Surgery Fellowship in Kansas City. My experience there prepared me to perform advanced minimally invasive procedures.<br /><br /> I joined Cook Children's in January of 2016. I love what I do. I enjoy taking care of children and their families. It is rewarding to see a child feel better after surgery. Whether it be a laparoscopic hernia repair or a laparoscopic resection of a choledochal cyst, minimally invasive surgery remains my passion.<br /><br /> I have three boys. I love being outside and riding my bike.</p> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="score-accordion-panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h3 id="services-accord-title" class="panel-title"> <button type="button" class="accordion-button GTMBUTTON" data-target="#services-accord-panel" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="services-accord-panel"> Services </button> </h3> </div> <div id="services-accord-panel" class="panel-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="services-accord-title"> <div class="panel-body"> <section class="score-stripe default"> <div class="container"> <div class="w-full"> <div class="section-header"> <h2 id="services">Services</h2> </div> <div class="content-area"> <div class="page-layout"> <div class="rich-text"> <ul class="doctor-list"> <li>Abdominal/gastrointestinal issues</li> <li>Circumcisions</li> <li>Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation</li> <li>Genitourinary surgery</li> <li>Head and neck masses</li> <li>Neonatal surgical conditions</li> <li>Pectus Carinatum</li> <li>Pectus Excavatum</li> <li>Robotic surgery, laparoscopy, thoracoscopy</li> <li>Thoracic surgery</li> <li>Tumors and malignancies</li> <li>Vascular, dialysis and feeding access</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="score-accordion-panel" id="reviews-accord"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h3 id="reviews-accord-title" class="panel-title"> <button type="button" class="accordion-button GTMBUTTON" data-target="#reviews-accord-panel" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="reviews-accord-panel"> Reviews </button> </h3> </div> <div id="reviews-accord-panel" class="panel-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="reviews-accord-title"> <div class="panel-body"> <section class="score-stripe default"> <div class="container"> <div class="w-full"> <div class="section-header"> <h2 id="reviews">Reviews</h2> </div> <div class="reviews-overall mt-3"> <div class="ratings-avg"> <p>Average rating: </p> <div class="ratings rich-text"> <div class="overall-rating"> <div class="rating-count"> <span class="rating-lg">4.9</span> <div class="rating-stars"> <span class="inner"></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ratings"> <table class="table-no-borders"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Questions were addressed</td> <td> <div class="ratings rich-text"> <div class="overall-rating"> <div class="rating-count"> <span class="d-none">4.9</span> <div class="rating-stars"> <span class="inner"></span> </div> <span>4.9 (46)</span> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Provider explained things clearly</td> <td> <div class="ratings rich-text"> <div class="overall-rating"> <div class="rating-count"> <span class="d-none">5</span> <div class="rating-stars"> <span class="inner"></span> </div> <span>5 (46)</span> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Likelihood of recommending this provider</td> <td> <div class="ratings rich-text"> <div class="overall-rating"> <div class="rating-count"> <span class="d-none">5</span> <div class="rating-stars"> <span class="inner"></span> </div> <span>5 (45)</span> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Trust/confidence in physicians</td> <td> <div class="ratings rich-text"> <div class="overall-rating"> <div class="rating-count"> <span class="d-none">4.9</span> <div class="rating-stars"> <span class="inner"></span> </div> <span>4.9 (44)</span> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> <div class="pb-2"> <h2>What our families say</h2> </div> <ul class="reviews-wrapper" data-count=5> <li class="review"> <p class="review-date">April 04, 2025</p> <p>Dr .
