Specialties/focus: Family medicine 
Best part of my work: Helping patients make the best decisions for themselves and their families. 
Why I became a physician: To help my family, friends and community be as healthy as possible. 
What I tell friends and family: Exercise 50 minutes a day, six days a week. If that’s overwhelming, start with five minutes a day. 
How I spend my free time: Going to the theater and keeping up with my kids. 
What patients say about me: I’m "down-to-earth" and patient. 
I have lived in the Savage community since 2004 and am very happy to be caring for newborns, children and adults here.
