I am a Team Care Provider (TCP) and help cover appointments, online messages and calls as an extension of your care team. I work with Julie Whiting, MS, APRN, Demitu Baissa-Tesfahun, FNP, Yordanka R. Alvarez, MD, and Jessica Kesinger, PA-C and am able to help when your primary care provider does not have availability. While patients are unable to establish regular care with me, I diagnose, treat and manage various health conditions, order diagnostic tests, prescribe medications and provide patient education and counseling, keeping your provider informed along the way.
Practice philosophy: Providing patient education and equipping patients with the knowledge and resources to take on an active role in their care.
What are you passionate about and why? People will not care what you have to say until you show them that you care. My mission is to be a compassionate, relatable physician assistant who understands and respects each patient's unique values while collaborating with them to achieve their individual health and wellness goals.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? Sports broadcaster.
