About

Philosophy of care

When a person comes to the emergency department for help it is often one of the scariest times in their life. I believe it is my job, as part of the ER team, to provide prompt, comforting care. Often, there are multiple paths to appropriately treat a patient's ailments. I believe in providing personalized care by discussing with the patient the best path for them.

Why I entered medicine

I entered medicine to help those in need by providing empathetic, evidenced-based care.

Community involvement

I am actively involved with local EMS squads.

Personal interests

In my free time I enjoy reading, trivia and running.
