Practice philosophy: I work with your providers, educate about medications and conditions, and adjust medications to maximize their effect. I will take action to correct drug therapy problems and follow up to ensure a resolution. I combine clinical evidence and personal preference with the goal of empowering people to make informed decisions about their medications and about their health.
What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about providing individualized care. I enjoy working with my patients to develop plans that combine their health goals with lifestyle and/or medication modifications. What works for one patient may not be successful for another, so I like to be open-minded and creative!
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A flight attendant!
What is something you have learned from your patients? I learn something new every day from my patients! I've been taught about the process of horse shoeing, the origin of the word "soccer", the purpose of religious fasting, and so much more.
