About Me

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.

    I was new to his practice and he was excellent.

    Felt like he didn't really listen to my problems and brushed them off, even if it was nothing. He knows my medical history and I reiterated how concerning I was, he continued to brush off my concern. I have anxiety and some other health issues so I would appreciate eye contact to calm me down and explain in depth why it wasn't anything he was worried about. It felt like he was rushed but there was only one other patient in the office, and the nurses took their time to make me feel comfortable.
