About Me
Biography
I was a college athlete, and, when not working, I stay fit playing tennis, spending time outdoors, and walking with my family and two yellow Labs.
Care Philosophy
Medicine can make everything seem big. My job as your primary care doctor is to make your healthcare world feel small and accessible.
Area of Interest
Much of what drew me to medicine was seeing a family member face multiple medical issues and what it meant to have someone care for her. I choose primary care because I can partner with and care for patients with a range of conditions and diseases. My interests include asthma, COPD, diabetes management, depression and anxiety, geriatric care, heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, and various joint diseases.
