Practice philosophy: My goal as a physician is to appreciate each patient as an individual. Their bodies, their lives, their history and their hopes are all unique. By understanding how each of these pieces contributes to their health we can create a plan specific to them to optimize their heath and reach their healthcare goals.
What are you passionate about and why? Preventive care, education and diet. There are so many conditions we can prevent with the right health screenings. We can prevent and improve health outcomes by educating our patients and empowering them to understand their health and make changes to improve it.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A forester, a chemist or a professor of literature.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I was 16 when my younger brother passed away unexpectedly from a congenital heart issue. This led me to pursue a career where I could walk with others and encourage them through illness and health.
What is your personal health goal? To find more balance.
