Care Philosophy
I have been a pediatrician for over 40 years and have devoted my career to caring for children with developmental disabilities and medical complexity. I am proud to be the Medical Director of the Special Care Clinic at Children's Hospital Colorado, where we provide a medical home to children with complex medical issues and support their families in a number of ways.
Clinical Interest for Patients
I am interested in treating children with underlying genetic problems, developmental delay, feeding issues and birth defects. I am particularly interested in caring for patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, chromosome abnormalities such as Down syndrome, and Autism. I am Director of the Ehlers-Danlos Center for Excellence on the Anschutz campus
