Board Certified, Family Medicine, 12 years of experience
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? My role is to keep you as healthy as possible through preventative care, and to be there for you whenever you are not feeling your best. I am here to listen and work with you to come up with solutions together to give you the highest quality of life possible. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? Every person and story is unique, and I love to listen and play detective to solve any problems that may be ongoing. It truly makes my day when I can help someone get better and that makes every day worth it! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a crazy cat lady-sorry dog people! I love to hang out with my animals, go hiking, and fishing. I also love to bake-I make a mean chocolate chip cookie!
