Physician Bio

Philosophy of Care
I believe that the practice of medicine is collaboration between the patient and the physician, with the physician listening carefully to completely understand the needs and desires of the patient. I feel that the physician and patient should work together to determine a treatment plan that is effective and fits with the patient’s lifestyle.

Hobbies
When I am not working with patients, I love to read, paint, create scrapbooks and spend time with my children.
