The medical knowledge and experience I've gathered over the years has shaped me to be the provider I am today. The nature and focus of medicine is continuous education and the knowledge I've acquired, I know well. I also know when to ask questions of colleagues and, if necessary, where to obtain additional information to provide the best care. I provide an environment in which patients feel comfortable to share their history and concerns. I believe that a strong relationship between the patient and provider establishes the foundation for quality care. I educate patients, so they fully understand their health status, condition and treatment plan. I am married with two sons. I enjoy yoga and mountain biking."
