Biography
I love my job as a primary care physician treating patients of all ages at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I take care of everyone from premature newborns to older adults, and I have special expertise in treating complex conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF).
I particularly enjoy working with teens and young adults to help them transition from pediatric to adult specialty care. I also work with the Center for Autism Services and Transition (CAST) at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, a comprehensive program offering primary medical care for adult patients on the autism spectrum.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about educating and mentoring medical students and residents. I am an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, portraiture and spending time with family.
