Biography

As a family doctor I am interested in high quality patient care of the entire family from birth through childbearing and through to the aging process. I take great pride in taking care of families and helping people navigate the health care system. As an osteopathic physician I incorporate osteopathic manipulation in both my teaching with medical students and residents as well in my personal practice. I enjoy teaching residents through my work in Family Medicine hospital service and in outpatient clinic precepting.
