Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I try and create an inviting atmosphere where patients feel at ease and comfortable. I genuinely care about my patients and enjoy forming long-lasting relationships with them.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients should expect me to be compassionate and take the time to listen to them. I expect patients to be honest with me so we can better collaborate on a health care plan.

I spend my free time exploring the northeast with my husband and dog, being outdoors, doing DIY projects and watching football.

I chose my specialty because of the diversity of the patient population as well as the wide-ranging subject matter. The greatest reward is forming long-lasting relationships with my patients and watching them achieve their healthcare goals over time.
