I believe patients should be active participants in their care. I take a collaborative approach to developing individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s priorities, values and goals, and I encourage open conversations that include family members and others important to the patient when appropriate.

My goal is to help patients improve their quality of life and stay active by providing the least invasive, most effective treatment whenever possible. I also work closely with other health care providers and trusted local and regional partners to ensure care is comprehensive and coordinated. As a member of this community, I value building lasting relationships with my patients that extend beyond their immediate treatment needs.
