What is your practice philosophy? I am a big proponent of preventive medicine, reducing medications if not needed and patient-centered care. Medicine works best when the doctor and patient are on the same page.
Hometown: Woodbury and then Albert Lea, Minn.
What are you passionate about? And why? I love playing and writing music with my wife.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: A science teacher.
Something I have learned from my patients is: They do not always follow the textbooks. Different people can respond to the same treatment very differently. This is why it is so important to find a doctor you trust who will work with you to find the best solutions.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): I enjoy taking complex medical issues and helping patients understand them to help them better manage their health.
