Meet The Doctor

What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?

Patients can expect complete focus on helping them enjoy the best existence possible. I can never promise an outcome but I can promise to be there for my patients no matter what is required.

What is the most important factor in a doctor patient relationship and why?

I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, participating in triathlons and listening to music.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy when you're not working?

Time with wife and kids, triathlons, music

What about your line of work do you find the most rewarding and why?

I enjoy helping patients beat SERIOUS medical conditions. Although my part is far easier than theirs, I feel like I go through the process with them and find it very rewarding to see them recover and know that I contributed.
