Care Philosophy
I believe early detection and timely intervention can save lives. As Medical Director of Kootenai Clinic's Lung Cancer Screening and Nodule Clinic, I am committed to helping identify lung cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages through advanced screening, evaluation, and diagnostic techniques.
My approach is centered on providing compassionate, evidence-based care while ensuring patients understand their diagnosis, screening results, and treatment options. I believe informed patients are empowered patients, and I strive to make every conversation clear, supportive, and focused on helping individuals make confident decisions about their health.
I am passionate about reducing the impact of lung cancer throughout northern Idaho and the Inland Northwest. By combining advanced biopsy technology, comprehensive lung cancer screening, and close collaboration with a multidisciplinary care team, my goal is to provide patients with the highest level of care while improving outcomes and giving more people the opportunity for early diagnosis and successful treatment.
