I became a clinician to help people grow, develop and recover from illnesses, and maintain a high quality of life. I practice general family medicine and care for all members of the family. I enjoy getting to know the whole family during office visits. An office visit could involve a routine checkup, managing chronic conditions or evaluating and treating an acute care need, but at each visit I strive to get to know my patients a little better. I also strive to explain what is going on with patients’ health and provide multiple options for treatments (if needed) so they can make the most informed choices for their care. I enjoy fishing, kayaking, hiking, camping and playing cards and board games. I love having all four seasons and enjoying the outdoors in each one of them.
