I promise to listen to you and value your opinion. In return, I ask you to trust my medical expertise and not use unverified sources from the internet to answer your medical questions.

I established my practice after working at large corporate practices where the patient is just a number. My goal is to put people over profits and to mend the broken relationship
between doctor and patient.

By working as a team we can come up with the best plan to maximize your health and well being.
