Overview
Philosophy of care | I apply evidence-based medicine to provide primary care that treats existing problems, prevents future issues and uncovers health risks. I firmly believe the best care is prevention. During the opioid crisis I gained experience managing substance use disorders as well as treating and preventing infectious diseases. My goal is helping patients better manage chronic conditions, prevent complications and hospitalizations, and establish healthier habits using all applicable therapies. | Why I entered medicine | Our large family valued health and work. One of my sisters was a nurse, and I watched her help our family, neighbors and in the clinic with her expertise and skills. That impressed me tremendously and gave me the impetus to pursue a medical career. It gives me a great satisfaction to help others in an immediate and concrete way, and to walk with them on their journey to healing. | Community involvement | My family and I just moved from New York, where I worked the past 30 years. I am looking forward to being involved in the community regarding environmental conservation and habitat preservation. We love animals. | Personal interests | I love to be with my family, which includes six dogs, two cats, two parrots and several chickens. We enjoy long walks with the dogs, playing tennis and ping-pong, and cooking traditional family dishes on the weekends.
