Background Information

About Me:

Pediatric neurosurgeon who made the transition to Phoenix Children’s Hospital with the other pediatric specialty practitioners, and proud to remain part of the Barrow Neurological Institute. As a member of the Barrow Children’s Cleft and Craniofacial Center, I offer a team approach to children with craniosyonostosis and other skull anomalies. Bristol

I treat all areas of pediatric neurosurgery, including brain and spine tumors, trauma, and developmental anomalies. My research interests include brain tumors and craniosynostosis.

I believe that a supportive and involved family is very important for healing in children. Many children do not have the ability to understand complex medical problems, so gaining their trust and making them feel safe are essential to providing good care.

Originally from New Hampshire, I attended Medical School at Tulane University in New Orleans. I then completed a Neurological Surgery Residency at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. Post-residency subspecialty training included a Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
