I was introduced to healthcare at a young age, having come from a family of physicians. I found Internal Medicine to be intellectually stimulating and enjoyed the idea of taking care of a patient from the start to the finish of any medical issue they may be experiencing.
I have more than 25 years of experience in healthcare and enjoy both helping patients and mentoring trainees. I look forward to helping run the Residency Education Program here at Northwest Healthcare and bringing my practical skillset into a hospital environment. As Northwest Healthcare’s Internal Medicine Residency Program Director, I look forward to mentoring physicians during their final years of medical training. Being a doctor is not just about what you learn in the classroom; it’s also about how you engage with your patients. I enjoy helping these talented physicians build and hone skills that will impact patients for decades.
As an Internal Medicine physician, I treat adults 18 and older for all potential health concerns including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and preventive care. My patients would say that I take my time with them to get to the root cause of their issues, never leaving them feeling rushed. I am a big proponent of honest communication with my patients and making sure they fully understand their treatment plan before they leave my office.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outside, whether it be skiing, hiking, or enjoying water sports. I also have two sons who keep me busy.
