About Me
Providing empathetic, compassionate and individualized care is my approach to improved patient outcomes. I am an understanding listener who includes my patients during the decision-making process so that we can create a plan of care together as a team.
I chose Internal Medicine, because I really enjoy working with adult patients who have complex medical situations, and I value building long-term relationships with them.
As a Navy physician who served with the Marine Corps, I understand many of the issues veterans face. I’ve traveled extensively and volunteered for missionary work, both locally and in South America, Africa and the Caribbean.
