My primary care physician is awesome! Unfortunately that means that scheduling appointments with her can be challenging, however that just means I book my annual appointments with her a year in advance.

Biography

Medicine is a partnership between patients and doctors. I enjoy treating diseases as well as forming long-lasting relationships with patients and families. I think medicine needs to care for the whole person--the physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
