Her mission is to make children’s lives better by providing the highest quality of care in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood diseases. She is a strong believer in building good relationships not only with her pediatric patients but also with their families, who should also be involved in the decision-making process for optimal health care.

I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, which could also be beneficial when caring for Latino patients."
