I’ve always known medicine is the field for me. I pursued primary care to be able to treat the whole person and not just a specific issue. We notice that health conditions are most frequently intertwined and are closely related to one another. I truly enjoy working with my patients to help manage chronic diseases while having a significant focus on prevention. I want my patients to stay as healthy as possible so they can live happy and fulfilling lives outside of the clinic. My philosophy of care is that it is very team-based; it's always me and the patient versus chronic illnesses. My specific area of interest is obesity medicine. Obesity is a growing pandemic throughout the world, and it is oftentimes the primary cause of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and subsequently, heart disease. Outside of work, I like to travel, try different cuisines, exercise and really anything outdoors.
