Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is that the outcome of any healthcare decision should be based on relationships, forged of a mutual respect and trust between healthcare provider and patient. My specialty of choice, family medicine, affords me the opportunity to build these relationships with patients and their families. My role as a physician, as I view it, is to help my patients achieve their health and wellness goals physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have chosen to practice family medicine in the town where I live because I feel that it's important to understand how people identify with themselves, and with others, within the community, with their peers, and with their families. | Why I entered medicine | I chose a career in medicine because in addition to possessing a true love of the sciences and a reverence for nature and how the human body works, medicine has afforded me the best opportunity to apply my vocation in a way that is consistent with my personal values. These include helping others in need, and establishing relationships with people within the community which I practice in order to help them attain their healthcare goals physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. | Community involvement | My community involvement generally involves volunteering to help with my sons' sports teams and after school activities. | Personal interests | My personal interests include spending time with my family first and foremost, exercising, cooking, reading and traveling, and I'm an avid Boston Red Sox fan!.

Philosophy of care | I believe in giving each patient time to explain their problem and then working with them to find safe, effective solutions. Informative and comprehensive discussions with my patients, plus quality care, yields long-lasting and trusting relationships. | Why I entered medicine | I always felt my role in life was to help others. Growing up with a physician father, I experienced the satisfaction being a doctor gave him and I wanted the same for myself. | Community involvement | I organize and run school fundraisers and charity programs. During the holiday season, I volunteer with meal delivery. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my two children, watching my daughter play volleyball and hearing her sing in an a cappella group at school.

Philosophy of care | I think it’s fundamentally important that a solid relationship based on trust be created between myself and patients.  This is accomplished by working in a partnership with the patient to accomplish mutually defined health goals, by treating illnesses and diseases using strategies based on the best evidence, and by ensuring excellent bi-directional communication between myself and patients. | Why I entered medicine | After experiencing numerous injuries and illnesses while growing up, I became deeply familiar with the health care system from the perspective of the patient.  While this generated interest in the role physicians play from direct experience, it also created the desire to give back to others by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries, as well as to manage diseases that arise. | Community involvement | I have had ongoing sponsorship for disadvantaged kids who have suffered burn injuries to enable them to attend a special summer camp through the University of Michigan Burn Center. | Personal interests | I work to maintain my own well-being by spending time with my 20-year-love, Susan, my wonderful 4 kids, extended family and friends (as well as my huge dog, Bo, and multiple other furry and feathered friends).  Together we enjoy family movie nights, ice cream runs (not | every | night!), sporting events, and trips into NYC.  I might periodically also be spotted pounding the pavement on a run or getting muddy on a mountain bike.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to be compassionate and caring at all times. It's important to be there for you not only at a time of illness but also when things are going well so I can encourage good habits in your nutrition and ongoing health and wellness goals. | Why I entered medicine | I chose medicine because I wanted to help the sick and make them feel better. Throughout my career, I could do much more than that with decreasing the morbidity that is associated with so many illnesses. My goal is to keep my patients and those around me in positive health.
