About Me
Biography
I enjoy being outdoors hiking, especially in the mountains, and on the water as I grew up near Lake Michigan. I play the piano and enjoy going to concerts and the theater. I have 13 grandchildren and love spending time with them whenever I can.
Care Philosophy
My practice style is to be open and honest with my patient. I am a good listener, I'm compassionate and I take pride in treating my patients with the best care and knowledge I possibly can. If I don't know the answer to something, I will make a point to do the research needed to give my patients the best care possible. I will do my best to treat each of my patients with compassion, care, expertise and knowledge for the best medical treatment needed.
Area of Interest
My interests include the treatment of burns, chemical exposure, lacerations and musculoskeletal injuries.
