I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with a specialty in geriatric medicine. My professional interests include cardiovascular health, delirium and osteoporosis. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Hometown: Batavia, IL
Practice Philosophy: The best health care decisions are those based on what is most important to the patient, rather than just a person's age and gender. I strive to learn about my patients' goals, beliefs and values.
The best part of my work is: helping patients and families recover successfully from health crises.
I became a provider because: I first felt called to improve the care of older adults while shadowing a hospitalist during medical school. I witnessed how geriatrics and palliative care expertise could vastly improve care and quality of life for hospitalized elders.
Favorite health tip: Be involved in your care, know your medications and why you take them.
If I wasn't a provider I would be: a scientist, because I love learning new things.
What my patients say about me: They say that I am thoughtful and genuinely care about my patient's well-being.
