Practice philosophy: "The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered." William J. Mayo, MD. I'm most passionate about encouraging others to maximize their potential in life. I do this through helping patients to regain function and by providing my kids with a variety of educational opportunities.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? My interest in medicine began when I was in my early 20s. At that time I was a judo competitor and as a result was exposed to a variety of sports-related injuries.
Personal interests: Fencing, cooking, guitar, martial arts, travel and wine tasting.
