I'm a pediatric hepatologist. I'm the Director of Pediatric Hepatology and the medical director of pediatric liver transplantation at UVA. I see children for any concern related to the liver, ranging from inherited disorders or inflammatory disorders of the liver that injure the liver itself to structural problems with the liver, like liver tumors. We also offer very high-level care for kids with emergent or urgent problems like acute liver failure. And of course, we offer liver transplantation as an intervention. I love both medical management and procedures. I also love working within teams to deliver care, and that's something that's really special about pediatric hepatology. We work together as a team to provide the best quality care for kids and their families, and I really love that part of my practice as well. There's a lot of stress and anxiety that goes into approaching liver transplantation. We get to walk with families and their children through that entire process and then stay with them for years and years, and there's a closeness and a bond there that forms that I really love. And it's just kind of the fuel for me as a hepatologist.
