About Me:
I realized early on that I wanted to become a doctor after having a serious injury as a child. I chose to become a pediatrician because I love children. I began Riverwalk Pediatric Clinic on January 3, 1980. We provide care to children 0-21 years of age. My staff enjoys working with kids and does their best to provide quality pediatric care by using all our resources.

I enjoy family gatherings and especially spending time with my grandchildren. My family and I enjoy traveling to visit other family throughout the United States and India. In my free time I love to play golf and taking walks. I am very active in the community because it is important to be involved in improving health care.
