What I Do
My philosophy of care is rooted in patient advocacy, holistic care and evidence-based medicine. I strive to explain patients’ health conditions, so that we can use shared decision-making to formulate individualized plans.
My clinical interest is in vascular surgery.
Why I Love My Work
My greatest satisfaction in my job comes from supporting patients throughout the surgical process and providing follow-up care, allowing me to witness the positive impact surgery has had on their health and well-being.
Getting to Know Me
My motivation to pursue medicine stems from my lifelong interest in science. This career field allows me to be passionate about what I do and help others every day. I chose vascular surgery specifically because of the breadth of acute and chronic conditions, surgical and medical management and the intricacies of the procedures. Outside of work, I enjoy being active and spending time with my friends and family. I love sports, hiking, camping, traveling, cooking, working out and spending time by the lake.
