Physician, Associate Professor
Primary Care - General Internal Medicine, Pediatrics
Department: Internal Medicine
I am board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics.
This means that I spend most of my time devoted to caring for whole families, across the age spectrum. I focus on preventive medicine, chronic disease management and coordination of care across the health system. Currently, I'm accepting newborns.
I’m most interested in quality improvement and improving the delivery of health care for everyone.
What I enjoy most about The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is working with colleagues in various specialties and providing care for whole families in one office.
I enjoy spending time with my two children and husband. I also like reading and spending time outdoors.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
My clinical interests include providing primary care for whole families. I am able to manage patients across the age spectrum and effectively transitions pediatrics patients with chronic medical conditions to adult specialists. My clinical interests include preventative medicine and chronic disease management.
I am concerned with improving the quality of care that each patient receives in a patient-centered environment. I was involved in creating the care coordination program in our ambulatory sites which provides team based support for patients with multiple chronic illnesses. I am currently helping the general internal medicine clinics with their implementation of Comprehensive Primary Care Plus through the CMS.
