Overview
I specialized in rheumatology due to an interest in treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that affect the entire body, figuring out complex medical findings and laboratory results, and the ability to maintain life-long relationships with my patients. I treat patients with all types of rheumatologic diseases and have a special interest in lupus. Health literacy and patient education are important to ensure patients can manage their disease successfully, and I enjoy helping patients understand their diagnosis and treatments. Through shared decision-making and an individualized approach, I work with patients to help them achieve their treatment goals.
