Patients Seen: Adults

I take gen­uine inter­est in my patien­t’s health and well being. Peo­ple often com­ment how they feel like I real­ly care. It is impor­tant to me to know that my patients feel cared for and val­ued as a human being. I also val­ue being on top of the best and most cur­rent treat­ments. Patients deserve some­one who is knowl­edge­able and up to date with their care.
