At my core, I’m a scientist who loves helping others. I bring those two interests together by applying my medical knowledge, clinical research, and evolving public health information to serve my patients. I empower those patients to make healthcare decisions with confidence. Their wants and needs matter. By discussing each individual’s lifestyle and goals, together, we can create a research-based care plan that helps them achieve a healthier life. When we can collaborate to manage or avoid illness, I'm happy.
