Always being a good listener and treat every patient with the same commitment and dedication as if they were your family.

Listening with compassion and understanding, honest, gentle guidance and education are all key to caring for my patients. Why I Became a Medical Provider: I enjoy using scientific knowledge and principles to help my patients better their health and quality of life. Special Clinical Interests include all aspects of Family Medicine from Newborn care to Geriatrics.

The family physician is often much more invested in the lives of our patients than many other specialties and providers. I take each patient to heart and try to develop a strong bond from the very first visit. The patient-physician relationship is one of my most vital tools that I use to treat my patients. By building trust and using motivational interviewing I believe I can find a way to help all of my patients to lead healthier lifestyles.

To provide high quality, evidence-based and compassionate care.

To provide quality care, from newborns to the elderly, in a comfortable and caring environment.

Actively listening to patients, respecting their preferences and values, and involving them in decisions about their care.

I enjoy working collaboratively with patients of all ages and their families to improve health, heal disease and optimize function.

My goals as a family practice physician are to treat patients as individuals and help serve as a catalyst towards wellness. As an osteopathic physician, I will emphasize prevention; focusing on osteopathic natural medicine, nutrition and stress management.
