In The Media
It started as a blog.
My early career happened to be at the forefront of the “digital doctor” revolution. My online life began as a blogger. Over time, I have established valued relationships with local and national news organizations, while continuing to write.
My work with patients has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Parents magazine. She has also been highlighted on NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning, NPR, and other local news programs.
