I joined family medicine because I wanted to care for people throughout their lives. My patients and I form lasting partnerships. I’m always ready to listen closely to better understand their concerns. Sharing information is also a core part of my process. That insight allows my patients to know their care options and make informed decisions about which one is right for them. Through close collaboration, trust and a tailored health plan, we can keep patients’ chronic conditions under control. Through preventative care, we can navigate around medical problems further down the road. It’s all in pursuit of helping my patients become their healthiest selves.
