In the Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) our philosophy is to ensure that every patient receives the best care for the best possible outcomes. We consider our “patient” to be the baby and the family; we are constantly striving to serve the needs of both. This requires a team based approach with all members being essential. I came to Boston Children’s Hospital to be a part of the Newborn Medicine Program. It was an opportunity to work as a Community Neonatologist and provide excellent care to premature and high risk infants close to home. As a Children's Neonatologist, I have direct access to all of the subspecialists who provide consultation when needed. If an infant requires a higher level of care, I am quickly able to transfer an infant to Boston Children's Hospital. Boston Children’s affords me the right combination of clinical care, innovation and research opportunities.
