Expertise

I would be happy to attempt to answer any questions about general pediatric topics, either medical issues or behavioral issues. This would include all the various questions one receives in a busy pediatric practice. I`m a board certified pediatrician in northern Michigan and have been in practice for over 15 years. I enjoy the teaching role I have in our practice and would enjoy the opportunity to help others with their pediatric problems.

2009-11-19 rash of unknown origin:

Hi, Sarah, Rashes are near impossible to diagnose in a setting like this. If it is on and off, this would imply to me a contact or allergic response. Look at softeners and detergents and see if changing
