Summary
- I am a board certified pediatrician with 30 + years of clinical experience, now serving as the Director of Pediatric Clinical Quality for the Long Island FQHC, Inc. I am also the District Physician for several school districts in Nassau County and a state trainer for child abuse and neglect.
Currently I sit on the Council of Sports Medicine and Fitness, the Section on Obesity, the Council of School Health, the Commitee on Media and Communications for the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am a regular contributor to HealthyChildren.org, the parenting website of the AAP and committee member of Chapter II of the AAP.
As a dedicated triathlete I have merged my many hats to form a company, Health Powered By You which offers speaking programs, my blog series, and coaching services dedicated to helping individuals, families, and organizations discovery strategies for successful health and wellness throughout their lives hopefully without the need for medicinal support.
Finally, I have recently authored my first book, Parenting Through Puberty,Mood Swings, Acne and Growing Pains, published by the AAP.
