General Info

I’ve always loved helping others. As a teen, my volunteer work in emergency care as well as a personal injury I experienced piqued my interest in medicine. Now, as a physician assistant in vascular surgery, I help patients change the course of their lives while collaborating with exceptionally talented surgeons. My patients are my priority. I take pride in caring for the whole person, not just their specific condition. I love getting to know my patients. Both my communication style and care are tailored to the individual so their needs are fully met. It's important that patients and their caregivers understand the disease and treatment recommendations. With knowledge, they become more invested and empowered in decision-making. That way, we are partners in their care. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient improve their health with the care recommendations I provide. That is especially true when patients avoid limb loss. It’s amazing to watch the impact of medicine and lifestyle changes on a patient’s well-being. My favorite part is celebrating those successes together.
