Physician, Professor
Infectious Disease
Department: Internal Medicine
I am an infectious disease specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I diagnose and treat patients for various conditions including cellulitis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis and HIV/AIDS.
I enjoy getting to know my patients, which allows me to better understand their diagnosis and develop treatment plans that work best for their individual situation. I educate my patients about their options and empower them to take an active role in their care as we work together toward successful treatment.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I serve as the residency program director for the Department of Internal Medicine, and I am a clinical professor in the College of Medicine. I enjoy educating the next generation of physicians, often including medical students, residents and fellows during clinic, which keeps me on my toes and benefits the patients. In addition, I am the advisor for the Christian Medical Association student organization at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
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.
