Biography

I became a physician to serve my community in the best way that I know how. As a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), I enjoy my practice, especially the relationships that I develop with my patients over time. I am happy to partner with them to achieve or maintain healthier living. I practice traditional Internal medicine with a focus on wellness and prevention. This does include the current recommended schedule of vaccines, just like I encourage my patients to drink clean water and wear their seat belts when driving. I have interests in fitness, weight loss, Men's health including bio-identical hormone replacement when needed to help promote well-being and vigor as we age. My practice model centers on the annual wellness physical which includes a comprehensive laboratory evaluation and other age appropriate diagnostic studies including not limited to chest x-ray, EKG, Bone Mineral Density which we can all do conveniently in our office. When away from my office; my time is spent enjoying my family time. I have two young children that keep me young and active. We travel when time allows for it. I am just grateful we are together happy and healthy wherever that may be.
