Not accepting new patients in this area.
Professional interests:
- Lung diseases
- Pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive
I am a hospitalist who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients. I work primarily within the hospital setting, managing the day-to-day medical care of patients admitted for treatment. While patients are unable to establish regular care with me, my role is to ensure you receive continuous and focused attention from admission to discharge and assist in ensuring a smooth transition between different stages of treatment. After your stay, please follow up with your primary care provider.
Practice philosophy: In addition to knowledge, health care teams should have compassion, good values and enthusiasm when dealing with sick people.
Favorite health tip: Healthy diet, reduce stress, try yoga/meditation.
