Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Dedicated and highly analytical Internal Medicine Physician with extensive experience in clinical practice, both in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Extensive experience in managing complex patient populations within hospital, clinic and long-term care settings. Passion for caring for the complete patient, using evidence-based medicine in addition to complementary medicine and function-health approaches. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? I truly believe that the role of the primary care provider is to be advocate for the patient. This takes into consideration but the physical and behavioral health needs. Our mental health shapes our physical health and vise versa. Understanding this relationship truly shapes the care of a primary care provider and a patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and being a girl dad. I have two daughters under 10 years old that shape the father that I am.
