                                    As a family medicine physician, I believe I have the opportunity and tools to teach my patients ways to live a long and healthy lifestyle. I hope to grow with my patients and guide them through all aspects of their life. 
As an osteopathic physician, I use hands on manual therapy along with traditional medicine to provide a more holistic patient experience. I have a special interest in sports medicine and find my osteopathic and musculoskeletal training have led me to provide comprehensive care to athletes of all ages. I also truly enjoy seeing pediatric and adolescent patients. Having two young children of my own, I find it a great opportunity to teach and learn from my patients.
