Biography
I am an emergency medicine physician, specializing in the evaluation and treatment of acute illnesses and injuries, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My practice focuses on providing timely, evidence-based emergency care while supporting exceptional patient experiences during some of life's most urgent health concerns.
I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals who need immediate medical attention. In the emergency department, I work closely with patients, families and multidisciplinary care teams to ensure that each patient receives thorough evaluation, clear communication and appropriate treatment tailored to their needs.
My approach to care is grounded in evidence-based medicine, clinical excellence and respect for every patient. I strive to create an environment where patients feel heard, supported and informed, even during stressful and unexpected medical situations.
In addition to caring for patients, I am passionate about advancing medical education and promoting physician well-being. I am committed to fostering a culture of learning, inclusion and professional growth across the healthcare community while helping train the next generation of physicians.
I am credentialed by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. My goal is to provide high-quality emergency care while supporting a collaborative, inclusive and resilient healthcare environment.
