Best part of my work: When patients feel comfortable enough to share things that they normally wouldn't and getting to know patients and their families.
Why I became a physician assistant: I always knew that I wanted to be in medicine. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them with many health conditions in addition to preventive health services.
What I tell my friends and family: Wash your hands as often as possible and stay on top of health concerns.
How I spend my free time: Reading, photography, traveling, scrapbooking, time with family, watching hockey and football.
What patients say about me: I have been told that I'm a good listener, am encouraging, compassionate and easy to talk to, and that I take time to answer patients' questions and concerns.
Favorite health tip: Prevention is key!
Practice philosophy: Treat everyone equally, the way I would want my family and friends to be treated. Treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
