He is dually board certified in both adult and child psychiatry.
Upon completion of fellowship, he was hired at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where we worked in the Center for Management of ADHD, where he was engaged in patient care as well as multiple initiatives to increase both patient access and quality of treatment.
