As a child, I observed my grandfather, a self-taught homeopath, treat our neighbors free of charge. I was inspired to become a physician by the deep interpersonal relationships he formed and the desire to help the community in which I live. I believe that each person should take ownership of his/her health. I enjoy partnering with each of my patients to develop an individualized and effective treatment plan. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, volunteer work and spending time with family.
