Research

Focus

  • My research focus has developed as a natural extension of my clinical practice. Because I have been heavily involved with training pediatric residents and my practice site as always been in the urban environment among the underserved, my focus represents a combination of these two areas. As the social determinants of health affect the underserved so significantly, I have focused on areas that assist and empower families to raise healthy and successful children.
