I am an internal medicine doctor with interests in preventive care and coordinated care of chronic disease, like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, thyroid disease and depression. I also have interests in LGBTQ health and women’s health. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Care philosophy: A successful patient-doctor relationship is a partnership built on trust and good communication.
What patients can expect from me as their doctor: I see patients within the larger context of their lives, not just as their diagnosis. That means understanding what is going on in a patient’s life, the challenges they face and learning what they value. Having a deeper understanding helps me provide better care.
What I enjoy about my specialty: I chose to be an internist because I appreciate the complexity of chronic diseases and the challenge of preventing and treating them. I enjoy working closely with patients so we can determine together what works best to manage their disease and keep them as healthy as possible. It’s also rewarding to coordinate the connections that patients need with other specialists and resources so we’re all working as a team for the patient’s benefit.
Why I am a primary care physician: I love being a primary care physician because of the relationships I develop with my patients over time. Also, in primary care, you have the opportunity through well-being visits, screenings or annual physicals to help patients prevent illnesses or catch them at an early stage when they are easier to manage.
