In my own words

Why I Became a Medical Provider: I became a family physician because I love meeting new people and helping them to lead healthier lifestyles. As an accident prone kid I was constantly going to the doctor's office for various injuries and I always enjoyed seeing my pediatrician. After following a physician on career day in junior high, I knew my fate was sealed and my dream to become a doctor was born. 

Special Clinical Interests: Men's health, chronic disease management, weight loss, health maintenance

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.
