I am a compassionate board certified Internal Medicine physician with over 35 years of experience in healthcare. Known for clinical excellence with a focus on prevention and the reduction of risk factors. I am passionate about approaching my patient encounters holistically, recognizing that we are all unique and require an individualized approach to care planning. During my patient encounters I try to meet my patients where they are taking into account their uniqueness and other social determinants that will factor into their nutrition, physical fitness and mental and social wellness. I am fiercely committed to empowering patients with knowledge that I have gleaned from my years of experience and staying updated on the latest evidence -based practices to promote healthier lifestyles and optimal health outcomes
