Biography
As a family medicine physician, I treat patients of all ages and specialize in the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis, as well as the treatment of acute conditions such as sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries. I take a comprehensive approach to patient care, and believe in helping patients thoroughly understand their condition and encourage them to engage in healthy lifestyles and promote their well-being.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center I have the opportunity to collaborate with a brilliant team of providers who are dedicated to serving our community. The people are what makes Ohio State a great place to work, and because we’re all passionate about our jobs, we’re able to create a friendly and caring environment for our patients.
In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors and relaxing with my family.
