Laura K. Winstone-Weide, PhD

I believe in a collaborative and culturally informed approach to patient care that values caregiver and family involvement and it tailored to the needs of each individual child. I recommend resources and provide care that is informed by evidenced-based research and, to the best of my ability, in line with the child's and family's values and beliefs.
