About Me: 

I am a mom and a doctor. I am passionate about evidence based medicine. 

My children were born extremely prematurely, so I understand medicine from both sides of the stethescope. I know firsthand the importance of being an empowered patient, but I also know that is only possible with access to high-quality medical information. So, I blog to build a better medical Internet. 

I love to dance, I bake the best brownies, and I am the shepherd to a large flock of stuffed animals.
