Overview

I have always been interested in the impact of exercise on improving overall health since my early days in youth athletics. Prior to medical school, I worked as a certified athletic trainer and personal trainer helping clients with chronic diseases develop individualized exercise programs. I have carried these formative experiences throughout my medical training, where I continue to focus on the basics of health and wellness for all my patients: physical activity, nutrition, and sleep. I was eventually drawn to the subspecialty field of Rheumatology and Immunology where I treat patients with complex inflammatory diseases that affect the whole body and not one joint or organ system. I strive to treat each patient with rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthropathy, and myositis, as a whole person while always considering their personal therapeutic goals and lifestyle.

His top areas of expertise are Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease (UCTD), Necrotizing Vasculitis, Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), and Juvenile Temporal Arteritis.
