I believe that treatment works best when it is a partnership. After taking the time to understand my patient’s needs, I discuss treatment options openly and work together with them to develop a plan that feels appropriate and manageable. I also believe strongly in close follow-up.

I am an avid hiker and swimmer. I also love reading novels and a good mystery to solve.
