About
It is an honor and a privilege to take care of children and their families as a pediatric surgeon. Caring for a child who is sick as a parent can be an overwhelming experience. I make it my mission to use open communication and listen to families concerns, utilizing a data-driven approach and shared decision making to ensure the best possible care for your child.
I specialize in the comprehensive surgical management of neonatal and congenital anomalies, including diaphragmatic hernia, anorectal malformations, pulmonary malformations, biliary atresia, and intestinal conditions such as Hirschsprung’s Disease and anorectal malformations. I have a special interest in surgical oncology and childhood cancer. In addition to providing clinical care in this arena, I have a basic science laboratory devoted to studying the effects of surgery on the development of metastasis in pediatric solid tumors. My general surgical training was completed at Northwell Health in New York and I obtained a PhD in cancer immunology at the Elmezzi School of Molecular Medicine. I completed my pediatric surgery fellowship at Children's Wisconsin and I am thrilled to be joining such a wonderful team devoted to the excellent care of children.

Ratings & Reviews
Why doesn't this provider have ratings?
At Children's, you can expect the very best care and service from all our providers — but not all will have ratings or reviews displayed online, for a few possible reasons.
The provider may:
- Not have received the minimum number of reviews (to ensure accuracy, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys before we develop each provider's rating)
- Care for patients only as part of a team
- Not see Children's Wisconsin patients
