About

Philosophy of care

My approach to medicine involves building a meaningful relationship with you and each of the others in my care. As Sir William Osler, often credited as the father of medicine, advised his students: "Listen to the patient, he is giving you the diagnosis." I meet patients where they are to provide them comprehensive, evidence-based care on their journey to becoming the healthiest versions of themselves.

Why I entered medicine

I've wanted to be a doctor since I was a child. The reason is very simple: I want to help people. Medicine allows me to do that in a very tangible way.

Community involvement

I participated in a U.S. Centers for Disease Control influenza surveillance at a sentinel site from 2018-2021. Such studies help monitor the impact of influenza.

Personal interests

I enjoy spending free time with close friends and family. I also enjoy reading, swimming and going on long walks.

About Our Ratings and Reviews

About our Survey

Our physicians and advanced practice clinicians (CRNPs and PA-Cs) are among the nation's best. That's why we show you patient satisfaction ratings and comments so you can read about and get to know our providers through the eyes of their patients.

To ensure our ratings and comments come only from verified patients, we work with NRC Health, a third-party organization. NRC Health sends patient satisfaction surveys on LVPG's behalf following an office visit or procedure. They ask patients about their impression of the health care provider and the doctor's or advanced practice clinician's communication skills.

What is included in the star rating?

Star ratings are based on a scale of 1-5 stars, 5 being the best. The rating includes responses to these provider-related questions:

Physician Communication Questions
1. Did this provider give you easy to understand information about your health questions and concerns?
2. Did this provider listen carefully to you?
3. Did this provider seem to know your medical history?
4. Did you trust this provider with your care?
Overall Provider Rating Question
1. Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?

Why don't all doctors or advanced practice clinicians have a rating?

In order to have enough data to measure and compare, a health care provider must have at least 30 completed patient satisfaction surveys. Surveys are included for a period of 12 months from submission.
