What is your practice philosophy? Assemble and deliver a comprehensive care plan using each patient’s individual values and goals across a wide array of conditions.
What are you passionate about? And why? The outdoors. It is something that we can share with our ancestors as well as our descendants.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: Landscaper/Construction/Contractor. A career with the ability to use your hands and have the satisfaction of seeing your results.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I decided to pursue medicine after being inspired by my own primary care physician. I knew medicine was my career after seeing the ability to help patients through any issue they may have.
Something I have learned from my patients is: Every patient has their own set of values and goals and it takes time for education and at times plans have to be modified to meet these values and goals.
What is the best thing you’ve done for your health or the best health advice you’ve received? To never be sedentary – always be moving and on the go.
