I am fascinated by the art and science of medicine and nursing. I believe in developing caring relationships with my patients and their families. I seek a greater understanding of human health and the cause of disease. My philosophy on care is patient-centered, using a team approach. I provide holistic health services to all ages. I practice in a scientific manner, focused on realistic and measurable outcomes. I am an avid hiker, love learning and being outdoors, working with students, and coaching. I enjoy my family, music, reading, movies, traveling, sports, gardening and the art of Bonsai.
