Section Chief, Pediatric Innovation Center
SRALAB
Chicago, Illinois, United States
As a practicing Pediatric Physiatrist for the past 17 years, I have provided collaborative treatment for children and young adults across the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab continuum of care from inpatient, day rehabilitation and outpatient, as well as through our global international program. I am the Section Chief - Pediatric Innovation center at SRALAB. I perform inpatient consults at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago to determine if patients qualify for outpatient or inpatient therapy treatment. We treat complex patients with a myriad of neurologic and orthopedic etiologies including traumatic brain injuries, post infectious or stroke conditions, and movement disorders including cerebral palsy to name a few conditions. I also direct an interdisciplinary chronic pediatric pain program in collaboration with child psychology. At the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab our patients receive holistic care in an interdisciplinary manner from assessment through treatment planning and goal setting working in a collaborate manner with SLP, OT, PT, nursing and pediatric subspecialists. We work to optimize patients’ functional capacity fully integrating him or her into their home, school and community environment. I have also written three book chapters related to chronic pain and the treatment in the adolescent population.
I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
