Overview

I went into family medicine because I wanted to take care of a variety of patients, from children to adolescents and adults. I also have the opportunity to address a variety of issues, whether it be acute illnesses, chronic diseases (such as high blood pressure and diabetes), and also making sure that we prevent illness. I think it’s what makes my job interesting as well as challenging. I really value the professional relationship that I get to build with patients and their families. The main thing that I’d like my patients to know is that we’re going to be in a partnership. We’re going to work together to reach a particular health goal. What I find most gratifying is when I see a patient return to clinic really excited about the improvements he or she has made that we talked about the prior visit. The growth in the patient’s motivation and their excitement is really inspiring.

Her top areas of expertise are Premature Ovarian Failure, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, and Infertility.
