About

Philosophy of care

I feel privileged to be in a specialty that not only heals patients, but also and more importantly adds quality back into their lives. This “quality” is not only achieved by medications, procedures and forming healthy habits; it requires belief from both the patient and clinician through mutual respect and trust. My background as a former athlete, coach and teacher allows me to adapt to each unique patient, plan a path for success and motivate them along the way to a more functional and independent life.

Why I entered medicine

I forged my own path into the medical field, as I had no health care workers in my family growing up. However, I did have plenty of teachers, counselors and social workers around me, and that led to a passion for helping others. Combined with my interest in the way we move and function, it ultimately guided me to becoming a physician.

Personal interests

My biggest passions in life include playing and watching sports (golf, basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis), working out, cooking, reading and playing piano. I am also very family oriented and love spending time with family and friends.
