I attended Syracuse University and the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, graduating in 1986.  Then I completed my pediatric training at Hahnemann University in 1989.  I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I find great satisfaction in knowing my pediatric patients have a great basis for lifelong health when breastfeeding is initiated in the newborn period.  I feel there are few things more rewarding than helping a mother with her breastfeeding experience. When I am not seeing patients, I love to read, antique and spend time with my husband and children.
