                                    I enjoy family medicine because of the relationships I form with my patients. I think healthcare is best when the focus is on the person as a whole, and I enjoy getting a sense of who my patients are and what is important to them, and using that information to help my patients navigate through healthcare decisions. I enjoy seeing patients of all ages, from newborns to elder adults.
My special interests include geriatrics and I enjoy the experience and perspective that my older patients share with me.
