About Me

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.
