From the age of seven, as I played “doctor” to my dolls, I knew I wanted to spend my life caring for people. As a primary care physician specializing in both internal medicine and pediatrics, I see patients of all ages and am able to care for multiple generations within families. I am also uniquely equipped to follow pediatric patients with chronic childhood illnesses, including autism and rare genetic diseases, and provide continuity of care as they transition into adulthood. In addition to my clinic work, I am involved in community based health care endeavors, such as providing sports physicals and screening mammographies. The most gratifying parts of my work are the close, caring relationships I form with my patients, and the opportunity to promote health in my own community.

My path to medicine was non-traditional. Although I've always had a keen interest in science and a desire to be of service to others, I didn't become a doctor until halfway through a far-flung 25-year Navy career. Family Medicine has been a perfect fit for me, as I've had the privilege of treating a broad range of patients in a wide variety of settings. I've come to believe that the most important and powerful factor in bringing wellness into medical care is a mutually respectful and compassionate relationship between doctors and their patients. My kids are the greatest joy in my life, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. Away from work, you might find me running, cooking, reading, traveling, taking pictures with a vintage medium format camera, or watching football.
