MD, Board Certified Pediatrician
I founded Kirkland Newborn Medicine with a simple mission: to provide the kind of unhurried, compassionate newborn care I wished for as a new parent myself.
After completing my pediatric residency at Seattle Children's Hospital, I spent years in traditional practice. I loved caring for babies, but I was frustrated by the constraints—15-minute appointments, insurance paperwork taking priority over patient care, and parents leaving with unanswered questions.
So I created something different. A practice focused exclusively on the "fourth trimester"—those critical first three months when babies and parents need the most support. Extended appointments mean we have time to address every concern. No insurance hassles mean I can focus entirely on you and your baby.
I believe calm, confident parents raise happy, healthy babies. My goal is to give you both the medical expertise and the reassurance you need during this transformative time.

I schedule generous appointment times so you never feel rushed. All your questions deserve answers, and we'll take the time to address every concern.
My advice is grounded in the latest medical research and AAP guidelines—not trends, fear, or judgment. You'll get honest, science-backed guidance.
I don't just treat babies—I empower parents with the knowledge and confidence to trust their instincts and make informed decisions.
When I'm not caring for newborns, you'll find me hiking the trails around Seattle with my family, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or curled up with a good book.
I'm a mom myself, and I remember those early weeks vividly—the joy, the exhaustion, the constant questions. That lived experience, combined with my medical training, shapes how I care for your family.
I can't wait to meet you and your little one. 💛
