Best part of my work: Seeing patients come into the hospital feeling their worst and then improving and going home because of my help.
Why I became a provider: I always wanted to be in the medical field. The body intrigues me and keeps me interested. I love how there is always something new to learn and experience.
What I tell my friends and family: Preventive care is important to catch problems early when complications can be prevented.
How I spend my free time: Enjoying time with my son, playing and coaching hockey, traveling.
What patients say about me: I have been told I am thorough, knowledgeable, listen to their concerns, straight and to the point, and a caring, compassionate team player.
Favorite health tip: Enjoy all things in life in moderation. Exercise helps in all aspects of life!
Practice philosophy: Treat patients like family. Provide comfort and compassion when patients are acutely ill.
