I chose a career in family medicine because I enjoy providing preventative health care and disease management to all ages. My approach to patient care is that of a partnership. I advise patients that my role as a primary care physician is to educate patients on current evidence-based guidelines for preventative health and for disease management. I want to ensure that patients are able to make an educated decision regarding their health care. My ideal vision of family medicine includes providing care to three generations, where I am the primary care provider to the grandparents, the parents, and the children. Understanding the dynamics of three generations of a family allows me insight into family medical history, family social dynamics, and family emotional stressors. This insight enhances my medical decision making for each individual in the family. I am married and have two children. We have two rescue dogs who keep us very busy.

Like many, I took a circuitous route to medicine. I studied chemistry in college and thought that I would pursue a career in research or public health. While these areas still interest me, I gravitated to medicine because of a desire to work directly with patients on improving their health and well-being. Through my training, which has included fellowship work in counseling, I have learned that many factors influence health, including relationships and other social supports. I feel that addressing mental health issues and enlisting the help of support systems are critical to feeling well physically and emotionally.

My biggest honor and responsibility is finding out what is important to my patients. I make decisions with my patients, not for them. Actively listening allows me to understand my patients and work with them collaboratively to come up with the best plan for their care. This partnership is the basis of long-term relationships, from childhood through adolescence and adulthood. For me, these long-term relationships are the most rewarding part of family medicine. My osteopathic medicine background allows me to take a more holistic approach to health and medicine. I want to empower my patients to understand their health and to live a good life.
