Research Interests
Research Narrative
The focus of my practice is providing the best rehabilitation care to children with disabilities. Spasticity management is a core component of my practice with Botox and Phenol injections as well as Baclofen pump management.
I have a special interest in patients with congenital heart disease and tailoring their rehabilitation programs to their individual needs. My expertise derives from a Research Fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology that focused on exercise physiology and testing in patients with congenital heart disease; numerous publications as well as a PhD thesis with honors resulted from the afore mentioned Fellowship. This academic background has been complimented with a Clinical Fellowship in Pediatric Rehabilitation.
