Summary
My approach to medicine is centered on building meaningful relationships with patients. I take the time to understand each person’s unique situation, personality, and goals, and I work collaboratively so they can be active participants in their care. Together, we create individualized treatment plans that reflect their priorities and support their long-term well-being.
Continuity of care is especially important to me. I coordinate closely with other healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive approach, and I advocate for my patients by connecting them with trusted local and regional care partners.
Respect is at the core of my practice. I recognize that patients come from many different backgrounds and bring diverse experiences, expectations, and hopes to their healthcare journey. I invite patients to share their perspectives openly and make their input a central part of every care plan.
When it comes to treatment planning, I strive to recommend the most appropriate and beneficial options for each individual. Whenever possible, I favor the least invasive approach to support healing, recovery, and lasting improvement.
I chose this profession out of a deep passion for human anatomy and physiology, with a particular interest in the musculoskeletal system. I find fulfillment in helping patients address areas of weakness to maintain mobility, enhance function, and enjoy an active lifestyle.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, mountain biking, hiking, and spending time outdoors with my wife, son, and daughter. I am also an avid sports fan and love both watching and attending games.
I am board-certified with the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), a member of the PAEA Pi Alpha Honor Society, and I graduated Summa Cum Laude from PA school.
