Overview

Philosophy of care | My goal is to help anyone who will benefit from my care, and comfort those I cannot help. | Why I entered medicine | When I was 9, my father was essentially hospitalized for a year after an industrial accident. Spending numerous days visiting in the hospital and seeing the care being delivered was the major factor in my decision to become a doctor. | Community involvement | I am active within my church and sponsor various charities. | Personal interests | I spend free time with my family and doing hands-on activities around the house such as gardening, landscaping and basic repairs.
