I treat every patient as if the patient was my mother, father, or child. My belief is that every patient should have the opportunity during their visit to express their concerns and help me to create an effective treatment plan with their personal beliefs and preferences taken into consideration.

Clinical Interests
I enjoy treating all types of illnesses, but managing asthma and COPD exacerbations are my favorite illnesses to treat because I’m able to acutely administer treatments in the clinic to stabilize the patient and observe the patient improving prior to leaving the urgent care visit. I also enjoy diagnosing and treating various skin conditions as many dermatologic conditions can be quite challenging to diagnose without biopsy.
Personal Interests
Working out, weight training, jogging 3 – 4 miles 5 days per week, listening to internal medicine podcasts, hanging out with my family and riding dirt bikes.
