I enjoy having the opportunity to provide ongoing care to my patients as a primary care physician. My training encouraged my to develop ongoing relationships with patients over their lifetime, so I value the patient/physician relationship. I believe one of my strengths is the ability to be an active listener. I hope to promote good health habits by teaming up with my patients, understanding their goals, and helping them to be the healthiest they can be. I enjoy patients of all ages and backgrounds. I believe I can be a valuable ally in helping to direct patients to excellent specialists when necessary.

Clinical Interests
The bulk of what I do is divided between general wellness care and management of multiple chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, allergies, asthma, etc.. Our patient population ranges from ages 0 – 100+.
Personal Interests
I am an avid freshwater fisherman, but enjoy many outdoor activities. I have a wood-shop at home and enjoy most aspects of home construction and repair. I love to paint (houses, not canvas). Most winter evenings I really enjoy doing puzzles if I can’t go outdoors.
