I am privileged to be able to care for children in an environment dedicated to improving their lives and within a department that is continually striving for excellence.

Having spent the first 18 years of my medical life in the UK, my American wife persuaded me to move to Boston. I was lucky to be welcomed into such an amazing institution and continue to grow as a professional and individual thanks to the inspiring nature of our patients, their families and my colleagues at Boston Children's Hospital.
