Biography

My love of science and medicine drew me to being a physician, and my enjoyment in helping people get better and stay healthy keeps me coming back to work every day. I believe that being healthy is an active option, not a passive one. Being well-informed and actively involved is a requirement to good health. Preventive medicine and healthy lifestyle choices should be a vital component of everyone's health routine. When illness does occur - whether in a workplace setting or in terms of one's general health - this can have a tremendous effect on a patient's physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being, so I work to effectively and promptly treat illness to allow each person to live their life to the fullest.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, sports and reading.
