Care Philosophy: In treating patients, I believe taking the time to listen and understand is most critical. While it is certainly important to correctly diagnose the cause of bone or joint pain, it is equally important to understand how this pain affects a patient's life and activities. This information allows us to discuss treatment options and tailor our shared treatment decisions based on specific goals. I always consider nonsurgical as well as surgical options. Treatment without surgery is often possible, and I will make every effort to treat conditions in the least invasive, most effective manner. If surgery becomes necessary, I want my patients to feel well informed, comfortable with their decision, and satisfied with every step of the process.

Care Philosophy: I chose to practice at Riverview Health because I enjoy the community and love the people.

Care Philosophy: Family Medicine offers the opportunity to care for all people, regardless of age or gender, as well as entire families. Not only am I able to help families lead healthier lives, but I am also able to learn what is important to each person and see what truly makes them unique. This helps me to provide better care for the whole person, and not just treat his or her symptoms.
