About
Philosophy of care
I build patient relationships through dignity, respect, understanding and compassion-driven care. I treat you as an individual to meet your needs in ways that align with your personal values.
Why I entered medicine
I have always found personal gratification in caring for others and helping them work toward being their healthiest to enjoy a full life.
Community involvement
I have a special heart for people experiencing homelessness. I have found innovative ways to help them access care though community-based programs and served them meals as a volunteer at the Pottstown Bible Church.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending time with family, and love hosting and cooking/baking. I have two adult sons I see regularly. I also have three dogs (a husky and two bichons) I power walk with every morning. I spend my free time with outdoor activities such as camping, bike riding and running an occasional 5K.
