What made you choose a healthcare career?
I chose to pursue a career in healthcare in order to provide care and education to individuals and families within the community.

What types of care do you provide, and what sets your care apart?
I provide all-inclusive care that is more than just a physical exam, labs, and problems’ list. You are a whole being and should be treated as so.

What’s your patient care philosophy?
I strive to work with patients and families using a collaborative care model in which the patient/family and I will work together to develop healthcare goals and priorities.

How will the integrated care model at Pillar Health enhance your practice and benefit your patients?
Integrated care will enhance my practice, by allowing the opportunity to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team. Integrated care will benefit our patients by improving access to care in a single location.

What can patients look forward to when they visit you?
Patients can look forward to meeting with a provider that will actively listen to their concerns and spend time developing goals to manage their individual healthcare needs.
