About

Philosophy of care

I want to empower my patients to live a healthy life. Whether they need to quit smoking or lose weight, I will help them as they transition to a better lifestyle. I like to help people help themselves. I think it’s important for my patients to understand they play a role in their health. I want them to take simple steps like eating right and exercising so they can truly improve their health—as opposed to just popping a pill that doesn’t get to the root of the problem.

Why I entered medicine

I was in college for biology, and I came to a crossroads where I needed to figure out what I was going to do next. My dad is a dentist, and as a child I grew up watching him help people. I wanted to help people too, so I chose to go to medical school to become a doctor.

Personal interests

I am passionate about and dedicated to my family. I spend almost all of my free time with my wife and our four children. There is never a dull moment in our house.
