About Me
As a family physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in ambulatory care and have a particular interest in health promotion and preventive medicine.
I am proud to be a family physician. I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and strive to provide personalized health care.
I received my undergraduate and medical education here at The Ohio State University and appreciate the opportunity to teach the next generation of physicians who are attending The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two sons.
