Treatment philosophy: “I believe in helping all my patients to achieve the best health they can have by listening to them and working with them as a team. I feel it is important to know about their social life and families in order to better understand what will work best for them.”
Special interests: “I have a special interest in women’s health and pediatrics.”
Professional journey: “I became interested in medicine while I was in high school. I enjoyed my science classes and my chemistry teacher encouraged me to pursue a career in medicine. When I got into college and medical school, I found it very rewarding to work with people and to help them feel better and stronger.”
