My goal is to work with my patients in order to adequately deliver high quality medical care. I make it a point to keep my patients well informed, comfortable and engaged in their own treatment. Answering questions, addressing concerns and hearing the opinions of my patients are paramount. No one knows their own body and symptoms more than the patient and that is how I conduct my management. I want to be a physician that is approachable and relatable. I will always put my patients first.

Spending time with family and friends. I have 2 wonderful children who make every day of hard work and sacrifice worth every second. Watching basketball, golf and football. I am a big University of Michigan fan. Lover to play tennis, golf and basketball. I can't get enough of traveling (name a country and chances are I have been there at some point in my life). I am a foodie as well!
