General Info

I chose to become a physician assistant after working in the medical profession for 10 years in various healthcare settings: inpatient inner city hospital cardiac stepdown unit, outpatient skilled nursing facility and outpatient cardiology practice. I have been in clinical practice as a physician assistant since 2005. I have clinical experience in Physical Medicine and Rehab (Physiatry), Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Adult Medicine. I am experienced in managing many chronic conditions including, but not limited to, high blood pressure, thyroid, diabetes and gynecologic care. I am experienced and trained to perform procedures such as implanted birth control, routine dermatological procedures, select joint and trigger point injections and other procedures. I enjoy being an integral part of the solution to America's growing healthcare crisis. I believe a GOOD practitioner treats the disease and an EXCELLENT practitioner treats the patient with the disease. I strive to ensure patient education and understanding of their disease states or current illness to improve patient outcomes. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, lake life, and sports (especially hockey and football).
