“Great works are performed not by great strength but by perseverance.”

I’m a pediatric critical care provider at University Health. I earned my medical degree and completed my residency at UT Health San Antonio.

I became a physician because I had a strong desire to find a profession where I could improve my community through education and excellent patient care.

Philosophy of Care: My philosophy of care is to provide excellent patient care, and insight for families of children with critical illness from medical, traumatic or congenital heart disease.

Favorite Part of Practicing Medicine: This division leads by example creating a supportive and rewarding environment grounded in providing excellent patient care. Our diverse patient population and the challenging disease processes we manage provide opportunities for individual growth and fulfillment.

Areas of Clinical Expertise

My clinical and research interests include coagulopathy during extracorporeal support.
