Meet The Doctor

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

Good communication. The best treatment starts with a full understanding of the illness and the process for treating it, and I want my patients to know all there is to know about their condition so we can work together to achieve a good outcome.

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

Communication and openness. For a successful outcome, a significant amount of trust must bond the patient and doctor. I encourage my patients to speak frankly and often.

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

I enjoy woodworking, spending time with my family and basketball.

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

Just making my patients better.
