About
I focus on comprehensive infant care using a developmental assessment approach that combines careful clinical observation with evidence-based pediatric techniques. I specialize in evaluating feeding difficulties, growth patterns, and early developmental concerns in infants, and I'm committed to working with families through telehealth to identify and address issues during these critical early months. My practice emphasizes preventive care and early intervention strategies tailored to each infant's unique needs.
Services offered
I provide virtual telehealth consultations for newborn and infant care, addressing common feeding challenges including breastfeeding difficulties, bottle feeding optimization, and introduction of solids. I evaluate developmental milestones and growth trajectories, diagnosing and managing conditions like colic, gastroesophageal reflux, and recurrent ear infections through clinical assessment and parent education. My approach combines detailed history-taking, targeted physical examination findings reviewed during video sessions, and practical guidance for parents on feeding techniques, sleep positioning, and developmental stimulation. I work with families to develop individualized care plans that support healthy infant development while providing the reassurance and clinical expertise parents need during these formative months.
