About Me
As a rheumatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in treating scleroderma and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), and I serve as the director of the Rheumatology Infusion Center. I also regularly care for patients with conditions including lupus, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathy (forms of spondyloarthritis).
I appreciate that a patient-centered approach is at the forefront here at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. I am proud to work alongside such exceptional and committed colleagues to deliver the best outcomes possible for my patients.
I am driven to make a positive impact on each patient’s life, and the opportunity to establish long- term relationships with them is deeply rewarding. My patients can rely on me for guidance and support throughout every turn of their health care journey.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, my role includes teaching future clinicians. I am a clinical associate professor of Internal Medicine and I serve as director of the Rheumatology Fellowship program.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and caring for my pets. I enjoy exercising, golfing and traveling internationally.
