Houston Area Pediatrician Since 2009
Since 2009, I have been working to provide the best parent-focused pediatric care to families in the Houston area.
My people-first focus as a physician is also why I am actively involved in my church in serving and supporting the spiritual growth of others.
Most importantly, I love God, my husband, my three children, my hobbies of dancing, cooking, photography, and travel.
