Board-certified family and obesity medicine physician with telemedicine and emergency experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician with broad clinical experience across telemedicine, urgent care, emergency medicine, and outpatient family practice. I diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions—including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, depression, and anxiety—and have experience prescribing and managing GLP-1 agonists and other medical weight-loss therapies.
My background includes military medical service ensuring readiness for state and federal missions, hands-on emergency procedures, inpatient management, and research-driven scientific work earlier in my career leading to peer-reviewed publication and collaborative translational partnerships. I bring a patient-centered approach, procedural competence, and experience across rural and high-volume hospital settings.
