About Me
My favorite part of family medicine is getting to be present for so many different times of a family’s life. From delivering a new baby, to performing well-child visits and preventative care through adulthood, it is such a joy to get to know all members of the family and help them through various life stages.
I believe in effective patient-physician communication, explaining all the benefits and risks of treatment plans, to help patients make educated decisions about their health care.
My interests are in prenatal care, obstetrics, women’s health and geriatrics.
I have extra training in global health initiatives.
