Pediatricians

Our roles as pediatricians include not only taking care of your child when he or she is sick, but to see your child on a regular basis (especially during the first two years) in order to monitor your child’s growth, development, general health and provide immunizations. In addition, as pediatricians we provide guidance on some of the more common issues such as normal development, accident prevention, behavior and discipline, etc.

I was born and raised in northwest Indiana.  I graduated from Hobart High School and received a bachelor’s degree from Ball State University.  I am a 1989 graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine and completed my internship at Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children.  I moved to San Antonio, Texas while my husband was in the United States Air Force and finished my residency at the University of Texas, San Antonio, in 1992.  I was in private practice for 18 months in San Antonio prior to moving back to Indiana. I am Board Certified in Pediatrics and a Fellow of American Academy of Pediatrics.  I am married and have three children.

I was born in Michigan and have spent most of my life in the Midwest.  I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!).  I went to medical school in Chicago at Loyola University - Stritch School of Medicine and while there met my husband Barry.  We then moved to Indianapolis where I did my residency in Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children.  I am Board Certified in Pediatrics and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.  When I am not in the office, I spend my time trying to keep up with my three children, Emily, Hannah and Christopher.
