Biography
As a board-certified dermatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I have the privilege of providing care for patients across all ages and stages of life. My practice encompasses both medical and surgical dermatology, including skin cancer screenings, medical management of skin conditions, and performing cutaneous surgical procedures. I also have a professional interest in assisting patients affected by hair loss and founded a specialty clinic to help provide them with specialized care.
I take great pride in delivering care with professionalism, curiosity, and compassion while fostering a calming atmosphere during each appointment. I firmly believe in shared decision making and work with my patients to deliver collaborative care that incorporates evidence-based medical guidance and individualized patient preferences.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy time with my family, traveling to new places, and embracing the outdoors through hiking, tennis, and skiing – on the water and on the slopes.

The provider was a nice enough person, but was so rushed in the 15 minute visit that he wasn't really listening to my questions or my needs.
Very knowledgeable and understanding
He listened to me and was very empathetic And kind. Explained my condition clearly.Impressed with his expertise. VeryHappy that he Is my dermatologist.
Good and thorough
Very friendly, unsure if the exam was as thorough as others I have had in the past. I attributed it to the fact that he was a male and less comfortable with female patients.
He was fine and considerate, and I appreciate him running on time/ early. Only thing that frustrated me was that it seemed to take til the very end of the appt for the fact that this has been a recurring issue for nearly a year to sink in, but once it did he changed the follow up plan and I was much more comfortable.
Very friendly and reassuring
Very knowledgeable
Showed concern with my issue, was very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and ensure that I understood everything before leaving
