“In medicine, where everything is constantly evolving, practicing evidence-based care is essential.”

I am a family medicine physician at University Health, where I also specialize in outpatient procedures.

My journey into medicine was driven by a simple yet powerful motivation: helping people. Every patient I encounter is an opportunity to provide relief, guidance and care.

Philosophy of Care

I believe in treating all people equally — regardless of gender, color, age or religion. My approach to care is rooted in dignity, fairness and respect for every individual.

In an emergency setting, time is critical and empathy is essential.

Favorite Parts of Medicine

Feeling the satisfaction that comes from helping others
Forming meaningful connections in fast-paced environments
Building long-term relationships out of mutual respect with patients

Clinical Interests

In addition to emergency care, I have a strong interest in outpatient procedures and enjoy providing hands-on care that improves quality of life quickly and effectively.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I’m a hands-on problem solver. I enjoy handyman projects, gardening and working with my hands — whether I’m fixing something or nurturing something to grow.
