Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“My goal as a physician is to deliver evidence-based comprehensive medical care while ensuring access to the services needed, continuity and coordination of care, and education about health conditions, all while providing respect, comfort and emotional support to the patient and their significant others.”

Personal
“Outside of work, my first priority is spending time with my family and friends. I love to sing, dance and wrestle with my toddler. I also enjoy all things related to physical fitness, including exercise classes, yoga and organized sports. I am an avid professional sports fan and try to visit a new baseball stadium each summer.”
