About
Philosophy of care
I treat you and all patients as I would family or friend. I provide thorough, empathetic care and strive to educate patients to be active in their medical and surgical management.
Why I entered medicine
I find great satisfaction in knowing that a job well done will serve my community and help people live longer, healthier lives. I underwent open heart surgery myself and use the experience to treat and educate you.
Community involvement
I enjoy coaching youth sports and fundraising through physical activities such as running and other challenges.
Personal interests
My spare-time interests include astronomy, stargazing and photography. I like to run and to ski. I also enjoy professional and youth sporting events.
