Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
I am a double board-certified family medicine and lifestyle medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating patients for various conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, as well as acute problems such as respiratory infections, rashes, and minor musculoskeletal injuries. As a Family and Lifestyle Medicine doctor, I also have special interest in promoting a healthy lifestyle, preventative care, well child visits, women’s health and in office minor procedures (skin biopsies, joint injections).
I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values. In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about educating and mentoring the next generation of providers.
In my free time, I like spending time outdoors, listening to audiobooks, working on puzzles and spending time with my friends and family.

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.
