I believe the best care comes from a holistic, collaborative approach that considers each patient’s individual needs, priorities and goals. I take time to get to know my patients and encourage them to be active participants in their care, creating individualized plans through open discussion and shared decision-making. My goal is to provide clear, evidence-based information so patients can make informed decisions that reflect their values and what matters most to them.

I also believe good health care extends beyond a single visit. I work closely with other health care providers, help identify and address gaps in care, and connect patients with trusted local and regional resources when needed. While the science of medicine initially drew me to this profession, the relationships I build with patients are ultimately the most rewarding part of what I do.
