I chose family medicine because I like treating different illnesses. I also enjoy taking care of people of all ages over time. I help patients take control of their health through education and communication. Patients are always appreciative of my attentiveness and thoroughness. In return, I feel privileged and honored by their trust in me as their primary care provider. Outside of medicine, I enjoy photography, traveling, and ballroom dancing. I also spend my spare time hiking, camping, and kayaking with my family.
