Best part of my work: Establishing a respected and caring relationship with my patients.
Why I became a physician: I enjoy taking care of people and educating them about their health. The more educated the patient is, the more they can take their health in their own hands.
What I tell friends and family: Get in for your yearly check-ups, and follow-up on preventive recommendations.
How I spend my free time: Spending time with family and friends, being "up north" in lake country and traveling.
What patients say about me: I am a good listener and treat each patient as an individual.
Favorite health tip: Drink eight to 10 glasses of water or decaffeinated liquids every day.
Practice philosophy: I make the diagnosis and treatment a collaborative effort between myself and my patients.
