About Me

As a family medicine physician, I believe in a holistic approach to patient care where physical and mental health are both important in a patient’s overall well-being. I enjoy empowering my patients to make the most of their healthcare.

I love working at an academic medical center like Ohio State where there are numerous resources for my patients as well as the opportunity to teach the next generation of family medicine physicians.

In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading and learning new languages. I also love to travel, both nationally and internationally.

    She always acts non rushed. She asks a lot of questions to try to get a good understanding of what's going on before making recommendations. She makes recommendations and lets me make the decision on how to proceed.

    I really appreciated the time she took with me. Best visit I've ever had with her! She let me set the agenda based on concerns I had and identified action steps for each one. I never felt rushed and she offered options in what I could do. She has a wonderful collaborative style.
