Biography

As a physician, I specialize in sports medicine, which is the prevention and treatment of sport-related injuries and illnesses. I believe it is important to have my patients participate in their treatment and care plans. If multiple solutions are available, I discuss the pros and cons of each, while ultimately letting the patient decide on which option may be most beneficial for his or her individual needs.

What I find most enjoyable about working at The Ohio State University is the collegiality among faculty members and the relationships with teams throughout the community.

When I am not working, I appreciate any time that I get to spend outdoors and with my two children.

Academics and research

I joined the Division of General Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University in 2015 with an interest in sport medicine, concussion in particular. Research over the past decade has changed the way concussions are diagnosed and treated, however many questions still remain. For example, little is known as to when athletes are safe to resume driving following a concussion. I'm working with Nationwide Children’s Hospital enrolling athletes in a driving simulator study to help answer this question.
