Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
As a family medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in helping my patients achieve their overall health and wellness goals. I encourage lifestyle changes as a foundation of my care, emphasize preventive measures and collaborate with my colleagues to provide more specialized care when necessary.
I am passionate about the physician-patient relationship and including patients in the decision-making. My patients can trust that I will always listen to their concerns and work with them to devise individualized treatment plans that work best for them. Helping to improve access to affordable care is also among my top priorities.
I appreciate the commitment to research and education here at Ohio State, and I am proud to help train future physicians as well. My role includes serving as an assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with family and friends and my dog, Esty. I enjoy exercising at CrossFit, trying new restaurants, reading and traveling. I also volunteer at the Columbus Free Clinic.

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.
