a few of my favorite things

I am a licensed physician, blogger, wife, and mother. I have two precious sons and one sweet daughter. I am so blessed to have a career that allows me to combine my love for children and fascination of medicine. After several years practicing at a pediatric office, I have expanded my education and am becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) as well. As a mother and doctor I understand better than most the challenges faced by new parents. So during my first pregnancy I started the website AskDoctorMommy.com with the purpose of giving parents a physician’s insight on raising children.

"The natural power of breastfeeding is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It is about real love. It is about caring and celebrating the wondrous joy of nurturing a new life."

"Dr. Patricia not only gave me the support and guidance I needed as a first time mom navigating the realities, joys, and challenges of breastfeeding but also the friendship that helped me survive the experience of postpartum. She answered any and ALL my questions no matter how weird or the time. Having an experienced companionate expert that I felt truly cared and listened to me was, and is, the difference between surviving and thriving. With Dr. Patricia's holistic approach my children and I are thriving."

She was able to help me give the best to my little girl

"As a first time mom, breastfeeding did not come easy for me and my daughter . Patricia’s encouragement , knowledge and experience drastically changed the course of our breastfeeding Journey! She was able to teach me different positions, techniques & educated me about my daughter’s lip tie in which her pediatrician previously ignored. If it wasn’t for her knowledge of lip ties, I would have never seeked out the proper care my daughter needed nor would I have been able to successfully and peacefully breastfeed for 12 months! Not only did her knowledge save our journey, but the knowledge has flowed into other family’s and has helped save our friend’s journeys as well."
