My goal is to provide the best patient-centered care by listening to patient concerns and then actively involving them in the development of their individualized plan of care. 

I believe it is important to remember health is not only affected by physical conditions, but also mental and emotional conditions. Therefore, I discuss how these factors may be playing a role in a patient’s illness. 

I also believe education plays a key role in patient health, so I take the time to ensure understanding of the care plan and to answer questions at the end of each visit. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing cards, reading, and going for walks with my dog."
