About
Philosophy of care
I believe in patient-centered care. My goal is to provide you the type of care I would want for my own family. I believe in properly educating and supporting you regarding your health. I want you to know I am on your side and will do my best to help you reach your goals.
Why I entered medicine
I decided to enter medicine after a member of my family successfully beat cancer. I decided at a young age that I wanted to be a part of a team that helped people.
Community involvement
I volunteer every year with the annual St. Clair Egg Hunt.
Personal interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my animals, going to men's slow-pitch softball tournaments, and traveling.
