Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I wanted to help people attain better health during their journey of life. I loved the opportunity that medicine gave to interact with people and still be involved in scientific research.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I value people and want them to understand why a treatment plan was chosen and how effective it is. I feel people should understand some of the evidence behind a treatment so they can make better informed decisions. I enjoy reading about new treatment approaches and work hard to deliver effective care.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy being around family and raising two boys. I also enjoy working outdoors or caring for our various animals.
