Physician, Associate Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine, Emergency Medical Services
Department: Family Medicine
As a family medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in disease management and preventive medicine. I believe in using a holistic approach to patient care. I think it’s important to be mindful of where patients live and the unique set of challenges that they face. I am also interested in health policy and public health issues that directly impact urban underserved communities and medically vulnerable patients.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the diverse patient population that I get to treat. CarePoint East has a great staff and an excellent support system. I also enjoy teaching medical students and residents how to provide quality health care to underserved communities.
In my free time I enjoy drawing, playing basketball and watching sports.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
I completed my family medicine residency training at University Hospitals Case Medical Center and my preventive medicine residency training at Case Western Reserve University before joining The Ohio State University Department of Family and Community Medicine in 2017 as a clinical assistant professor of family medicine. I currently practice at OSU Outpatient Care East. I am interested in working with urban underserved communities and teaching medical students and residents. Additionally, I am interested in health policy and public health issues that directly impact urban underserved communities such as community violence and obesity.

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.
