Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
As a family medicine physician, I manage symptoms and provide treatment for a variety of conditions. I am very passionate about getting to know my patients and their unique medical backgrounds. I strive to develop strong patient-physician relationships to create highly individualized, family-centered plans. I primarily specialize in behavioral health, but I enjoy the wide variety and scope of my practice.
I am very excited to be working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and I enjoy the academic rigor and strong emphasis on evidence-based medicine.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and cheering on my favorite football team, the Cleveland Browns.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
My medical training began at The Northeast Ohio Medical University. After completing medical school, I went to Rochester, New York to complete a Family Medicine Residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Afterward, I spent some time as a faculty member while staffing the University Health Services for the University. This was a great opportunity to learn about population management and how it can be incorporated into my practice.
I joined The Ohio State University's Department of Family and Community Medicine in August 2018. I am extremely excited about working for The Ohio State University because I enjoy the academic rigor and the emphasis on evidence-based medicine. I enjoy being an expert in each of my patients medical care. I pride myself in creating individualized family-centered plans for my patients. I love the wide variety and scope of my practice.

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
