Meet The Doctor

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

My patients can expect care with kindness and friendly service. They will receive mutual respect from me and have a voice so we can decide together on an approach and treatment for their condition.

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

Trust. Trust that I am doing the best in my power to take care of you and always have your best interests in mind regarding your care and your health.

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

I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling and spending as much time as possible with my two girls and my husband.

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

I love the relationships that I build with my patients and the satisfaction we both get when we help them feel better, whether it is curing an acute illness or finally getting their blood pressure, diabetes or other chronic condition under control. The friendships I have gained with my patients and coworkers is so rewarding.
