Craig Canapari

MD
Professional Focus I care for children with respiratory problems, especially children with neuromuscular disease. I also see children with both respiratory and non-respiratory sleep disorders. I have an active online presence as I feel that it is our duty as physicians to provide high-quality, accurate content for patients and their families.
