I am a board-certified physician assistant specializing in family medicine with professional interests in obstetrics, adult health, preventive care, women's health, pediatrics and geriatrics. My care team partner is Nancy O'Connor, MD. 

I offer face-to-face virtual visits for follow-up care. This is a convenient type of appointment where you meet with me virtually, right from your mobile device or computer.

I'm passionate about: staying active! It is such a great way to take time for yourself. 

If I wasn't a provider, I would: volunteer my time to various organizations! Working with military veterans, senior citizens, and children in need would be very fulfilling. 

I knew I wanted to become a provider: when I was a child. My childhood provider was wonderful and made many visits to the clinic as enjoyable as they could be. I became a provider so I could hopefully provide patients with similar experiences. 

Something I've learned from my patients is: that it's important to listen to their stories and to be someone they can trust. 

One of the challenges of my career that I enjoy is: the need for continued learning. I love being able to impact patients' lives and to help them learn ways to improve their well-being.

The best thing I've done for my health is: to stay active most days of the week, going for a jog, bike ride or playing tennis.

My practice philosophy: The best way to a great patient-provider relationship is communication. Optimal health is best accomplished when nothing is left unsaid.
