What I'm looking for
I’m a Board Certified Internal Medicine physician offering 18 years of experience providing comprehensive care and diagnosing patient health conditions. I’m diligent about carefully reviewing patient information to determine appropriate treatments, and I aim to make every interaction compassionate and clear.
My practice spans inpatient and outpatient settings, with strong health and wellness expertise and geriatrics-centered care planning. I focus on evidence-based medical practice and use medical technology while keeping care family-focused and centered on patient education.
I also bring experience supporting end-of-life care through my Fellowship Training in Hospice and Palliative Care, along with team communication across clinical settings. I enjoy working with patients from diverse cultures and collaborate proactively to deliver high-level care with professionalism.
