Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I believe in equipping people with knowledge and skills for healthy living and disease management. From healthy to frail elderly, I work with individuals and families to maximize function and independence. My philosophy is providing quality health care in the advancing fields of geriatrics and medicine while maintaining choice, comfort and dignity. My practice spans from young to old and I love the diversity and relationship building with my patients.”
