Biography
I am an internal medicine physician specializing in primary care for adult patients at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I have extensive expertise in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of chronic diseases using an evidence-based and patient-centered approach.
It is my responsibility to help my patients improve their health while keeping their goals at the center of our interactions. I believe the opportunity to join my patients on their health care journeys is a privilege, and I empower them to take active roles in their care. I embrace my role as an educator of my patients, and I learn from them every day.
In addition to my clinical work, I am a passionate educator of the next generation of medical professionals. I am a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine and an associate course director for The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I also serve as the lead physician for the Division of General Internal Medicine's inpatient teams.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my commitment to my patients. I was honored to be inducted into the Gold Humanism Honors Society and to receive the Robyn D. Howson Housestaff Humanism Award from the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. I was also proud to receive the Department of Internal Medicine’s Excellence in Teaching Award.

Only good experiences
He spent at least an hour in this visit and listened to all of my concerns. He is an exceptionally compassionate and I feel that he knows me not only as just another patient but as a whole person.
Always listens and gives multiple options for treatment.
My care provider NEVER EXAMINES me. He generally asks questions and/or reviews my answers/comments to medical questions about myself on the forms I've been asked to complete. HE NEVER checks my heart rate, nor my swollen feet & ankles. Since I take blood pressure medication. I can never remember a time that he has examined me for swelling or heart rate!
Respectful
Very professional, personable and compassionate to ones concerns.

Doctor listens when I talk. Very unusual these days. Answered all my questions..
This is probably no this is the best doctor I've had in my entire life. Patiently we talk gives me his opinion and we take a course action. I usually follow whatever he says he seems to have my health in mind.
