Get To Know Me
Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Patients should choose me because I listen and I try to engage patients in their plan for health and wellness.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients should expect that I am straightforward and I will accept any questions regarding their care. I expect patients to respect my judgment and engage in their care.
How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
When not working I like to spend time with family and my dogs, and I enjoy traveling.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose my specialty so I could have a diverse practice. My greatest reward is when I see a patient who has engaged in their care and now enjoys wellness.
