I believe effective care starts with understanding the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Every patient’s condition affects their function, goals, and daily life differently, and I take the time to listen and understand what matters most to them. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that align with their priorities and support their long-term quality of life.

I view healthcare as a partnership. Rather than making decisions for my patients, I make decisions with them. Their goals, preferences, and values help guide every aspect of their care. Whenever possible, I focus on the least invasive, most effective treatment options, incorporating a combination of therapies, lifestyle strategies, medications, and procedures tailored to each individual’s needs.

My approach to medicine is also shaped by personal experience. After sustaining a spinal cord injury at age 20, I gained firsthand insight into the challenges that can accompany physical limitations. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and continues to influence how I care for patients today. I firmly believe that physical limitations should never define a person’s potential or prevent them from living a full, meaningful, and active life. My goal is to help patients maximize their function, independence, and overall well-being so they can continue doing the things that matter most to them.
