Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
As a provider, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based medicine with a focus on fostering patient-physician relationships.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I believe taking the time to connect and clearly explain medical care is paramount. As a patient I believe that remaining involved in all discussions allows this relationship to flourish.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
In my free time, I enjoy staying active through a variety of sports, including running, biking, hiking, and snowboarding in the winter.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Internal Medicine offers the opportunity to build lasting patient relationships while managing a wide range of medical conditions. The greatest reward is the feeling of solving a problem that is plaguing a patient.
