I am a board-certified internal medicine and geriatric medicine physician. My professional interests include on-site care at assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities and transitions of care.
Hometown: Crystal, MN
Practice Philosophy: I focus on patient/family goal(s) to develop a care plan around those goals.
The best part of my work is: forming collaborative relationships with the patient and family.
I became a provider because: I wanted to help people lead better and healthier lives. I knew this was my career when I was in my residency and identified a need for more experts in geriatric care.
Favorite health tip: Stay as active as you can, as long as you can.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be: a teacher or softball coach.
What my patients say about me: That I am personable and take their opinions about their health care to heart.
