Sees all ages
Physician Assistant, an advanced practice degree for primary care providers who undergo extensive practical training and board certification, and are licensed to practice medicine including the full range of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
I cannot think of a greater privilege than being able to empower my patients to be an active vessel of change in their own health and longevity and getting to witness the positive after effects. I love teaching my patients about illness prevention and helping them to intricately understand disease pathology. I am passionate about increasing healthcare access via telemedicine, periodic health screening exams, preventive care, evidence based medicine, patient education and eliminating healthcare disparities.
How I stay healthy and happy
In my spare time I love to travel, play tennis, ski, Latin dance, discover new restaurants, take Zumba classes, and spend time with my family, friends, and Maltipoo!
