Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider.
My focus in medicine is to promote optimal health and well-being. This is achieved through good practice and caring, listening and addressing each patient’s concerns.

In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs?
I believe that a well-rounded approach including nutrition, fitness and kindness is fundamental to good health. This is also incorporated into my practice.

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy many outdoor activities and enjoy many seasonal treasures from viewing fireflies in the early summer to the fall color-change in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
