Physician, Assistant Professor
Dermatology
Department: Dermatology
As a dermatologist specializing in general dermatology, I treat patients with a variety of dermatologic conditions including acne, warts, rashes and skin cancer. In addition to treating my patients’ dermatologic conditions, I also educated them about their conditions to further their understanding of their individualized treatment plans.
My approach to care is guided by my passion for teaching. I love working in an academic medical center where I’m able to teach medical students and residents about dermatology. Working at Ohio State allows me to spend more time with patients than if I were in private practice. I want my patients to feel that I have listened to and understand their concerns. Additionally, because of our specialty clinics and access to clinical trials at Ohio State, I am able to offer my patients cutting-edge treatment options!
When I’m not working, I enjoy relaxing with my family, reading, playing board games, watching movies and spending time outdoors.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
