I am a pediatric anesthesiologist who develops and researches ways for patients and families to have better experiences when they come forprocedures. To do this, I create, operationalize, and then analyze the efficacy of peri-operative wellness programs that help kids and their caregivers takecontrol of the way they feel when they are in the hospital. I do this by teaching them mind-body techniques that help ease anxiety, promote relaxation,and help control stress. My research centers on the feasibility of such programs, and determining how effective they are at their goals.
