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.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of patients of all ages. My focus is geared more toward athletes, but I do enjoy the geriatric population as well. The goal is to get patients back to optimal health through sustainable lifestyle changes.
