"The joy of practicing pediatrics, keeping kids healthy and helping sick children and their families, continues to be the most rewarding experience of my life (aside from raising two kids of my own...my son David, now 30 and my daughter Lauren, now 28). Now that I have been a pediatrician in the San Diego Community for 33 years, I have the added pleasure of seeing the children and grandchildren of patients I cared for 3 decades ago. I completed my pediatric training at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston with a fellowship at Harvard Medical School and I have a long list of publications in both basic science and clinical research. My Board Certification in both pediatrics and pediatric pulmonary medicine allows me to care for any and all pediatric patients as well as children with lung problems, including asthma. Our Pediatric Office is made up of 6 Board Certified pediatricians who are all on faculty at UCSD School of Medicine. I am proud that all 6 of the pediatricians in our office are part of a small group of pediatricians from the San Diego community who are committed and qualified to teach interns, residents and medical students from UCSD School of Medicine."
