Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I decided that I wanted to be a physician at the age of 5 because I saw my own family physician providing compassionate care for my family. Helping families navigate the stages of life has become my passion, and I continue to be fascinated by the workings of the human body which keeps me engaged in always learning new things in medicine.

What I want my patients to know about me:

Patients can expect a listening ear, evidence based medical advice, shared decision making, and tough love when needed.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

As a Franklin county native, I love practicing medicine in my hometown and love the perk of spending time with my immediate and extended family as much as possible. I also enjoy traveling and bargain shopping.
