About Me
I am a board-certified pathology physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and interpreting a wide range of diseases through the examination of tissue, cell, and body fluid samples, with expertise in both anatomic and clinical pathology as well as cytopathology.
My patients and clinical colleagues can rely on me for high quality, precise diagnostic insights and collaborative communication in every case. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure that each diagnosis supports the most effective and personalized treatment plan for every patient.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about advancing medical education and training. I serve as a clinical assistant professor of Pathology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
