About
Philosophy of care
Patient care comes first. I strive to provide you the highest quality of care that is patient focused and always respectful of your wishes and autonomy.
Why I entered medicine
I have always been interested in science. The practice of medicine is a wonderful vocation that uses science to help people.
Community involvement
From 2014 to 2021 I was CEO and Board Chair of MetroWest Healthcare Alliance, an independent physician organization in Massachusetts that represents 200 local physicians and is part of an accountable care organization focusing on the Quadruple Aim in Medicine: improving the health of our patient population, elevating the care of individual patients, lowering total medical expense and improving the vocation of health care.
Personal interests
I enjoy hiking, skiing and reading in my spare time.
