As a pediatrician, I hope to convey a sense of understanding, evidence-based medicine and compassion to patients and their families. I encourage questions, no matter how small they may seem, so that families may better understand health maintenance, disease processes and goals of necessary treatment. Working with children has blessed me with a positive outlook on life and the lives of my patients. Each child is unique with distinct backgrounds and personalities; I aim to tailor care in the same way, with patients and families at the forefront and actively involved. Together, we will arrive at the best plan of care. My wife and I are both from Northeast Wisconsin and have four beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with family, running, outdoor activities, theology and music--including playing piano for weddings and various church and community events."
