Her patient care philosophy is to provide care for patients “how I would want my own family to be treated. I also strongly believe in holistic care and treating the patient as a whole.”
Her clinical areas of interest is family medicine including pediatrics, adults, women’s health, gynecology and geriatrics. She chose family medicine because “it’s very unique and you can care for patients across the lifespan from newborns to geriatrics. I love the diversity it provides. I embrace the challenge of being able to diagnose and treat whatever may walk through the door that day.
“I encourage patients to find a provider they can trust. I always strive to really establish a good rapport with my patients and build that trusting relationship. I think it’s really important to have a provider that you can have shared decision-making with and I think ultimately that would improve outcomes and have patients trust you more.”
