Why a Pediatrician
Why a pediatrician? Why do kids need a specialist? Because kids are different. And so are the doctors that choose to take care of kids.
Pediatrics is the medical specialty that is fully focused on kids: from birth through the exciting and tumultuous years of adolescence.
Pediatricians are trained for 4 years in medical school to become a doctor and then have three full years of extra training in how to take care of kids and teens. Some pediatricians have additional training in a subspecialty area like cardiology, pulmonology, or hematology. Our department has general pediatricians and specialist pediatricians to make sure that your children stay healthy and, if they get sick, that they get the best care possible.
Pediatricians believe that your children start healthy. We are trained to focus on prevention of problems and work with families for the betterment of children. We love children and, in truth, most of us are big kids ourselves.
In the pediatric department, we look forward to caring for your family as it grows.
21st Century Medicine
It’s my main goal to provide you and your children with high quality care. In the 21st Century, that means more than just making appointments or picking up the phone to reach me. As a member of my practice, you have many more choices:
- Secure Email - By creating an account at kp.org, you can add your child to your account and email me your health questions and concerns, as well as pictures. You can also make appointments, request medication refills, and view your child’s immunization records online with this feature.
- Life Stage Newsletters - From birth to adolescence, you can sign up to receive regular newsletters about your child’s health, featuring accurate, up to date information with links to videos, photos, and more.
- This Home Page: Take a moment to explore all my home page has to offer—not just health information you can read, but also videos, podcasts, and more.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of all of these features to
make getting your care as convenient as possible.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
