Overview
I practice in travel and tropical medicine, seeing patients before they travel and, if needed, after they return. I see both children and adults and enjoy working with travelers to help them prepare for safe trips outside the U.S. I enjoy talking to patients about their experiences because I love to travel as well. I also care for patients with tuberculosis.
