About Me

As a board-certified general dermatologist, I diagnose and treat a wide variety of dermatologic problems in both adults and children. I see patients for issues including acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and hair loss. I also perform procedures and surgeries to treat skin cancer, cysts and other growths.

I love working alongside the team of expert specialists here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. We have the resources and expertise to treat the most complex of cases as well as give patients with more common conditions the focus they deserve.

In dermatology, patients can quickly see whether our treatments are working or not, and I take great joy in following up with patients and seeing their skin problems dramatically improve and heal. I also spend extra time on education and always make sure my patients thoroughly understand their disease and treatment options. I empower my patients to take active roles in their health care and I believe shared decision-making between physician and patient is important.

Forming personal connections with my patients is the most satisfying part of my job and I am focused on building trusting relationships with each person who comes to see me. My support staff and I strive to offer an inclusive and nonjudgmental space that makes everyone feel comfortable and allows them to get the care they need.

I grew up in Grandview Heights and earned my bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University, and I am thrilled to be back home with the opportunity to continue my career as a Buckeye. I feel lucky that my practice includes seeing patients at our Grandview location and being able to treat people from my hometown community.

When I’m not working, I love cheering on the Buckeyes and the Columbus Crew. I enjoy cooking, exploring new restaurants, spending time outdoors and competing in triathlons.
