My Approach to Healthcare
As a pediatric nurse practitioner in pediatric weight management my practice is very specialized. I absolutely love working with children and families and can not imagine working anywhere else. I am also very dedicated to helping the children in Mississippi meet their weight loss needs and am passionate about promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in the pediatric population. I strive to provide evidence-based care to my patients so that I can give them the best care possible.
