About Me
As a family medicine and integrative medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in osteopathic medicine and acupuncture. I’m interested in acupuncture, mind-body practices, health promotion and holistic medicine. I see adults, infants and children.
It’s inspiring to see patients who are grounded in the daily, sometimes difficult, work of making healthy choices for themselves and their families.
I’m interested in research that applies osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to pediatric populations, especially those with feeding difficulties and the physical tensions that accumulate from stress or birth injury.
