Biography
As a psychiatrist and primary care physician, I am able to provide a broad range of services and integrated care to my patients. My areas of specialty include attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia.
I am very committed to providing my patients with the quality of care that they deserve. I am passionate about my career because I know that people suffering from different mental disorders have the ability to heal and improve in a holistic environment.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because of the broad range of interdisciplinary work that I am exposed to, as well as the opportunity to serve and teach as an assistant professor.
In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, attending Ohio State football games and relaxing with my family.

Very professional, caring and respectful. Good listener, great at what he does.
Truly the best. He listens very carefully, remembers details from previous visits, and wants to partner with me as the patient rather than just tell me what to do. Rare kind of doctor to find.
