      I am an American Board of Radiology–certified radiologist with a CAQ in Pediatric Radiology. I currently serve as an Assistant Professor of Radiology at UT Southwestern and as the Service Chief of Radiology at Children’s Medical Center Plano. Since joining in 2022, my work has centered on high-quality pediatric imaging, service leadership, and quality improvement.

      Before this, I spent nearly a decade at the Hospitals of Providence in El Paso, serving as Chairman and Medical Director of Radiology, Vice Chair, Pediatric Radiology Division Head, and President of The Radiology Group.

      Earlier in my career, I trained in the United Kingdom in internal medicine, surgery and emergency care before moving fully into radiology. I am committed to advancing pediatric imaging and strengthening academic and clinical excellence.
