I am a primary care physician at Memorial Healthcare System where I care for patients with a wide range of health conditions, illnesses and injuries. I am especially passionate about preventive care and wellness with a holistic approach. I am deeply committed to helping people manage and treat chronic conditions including obesity and complications from it like diabetes type 2, hypertension, fatty liver, depression and anxiety. I also have an interest in women’s health, skin problems, headaches and musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, among others. I was first attracted to medicine because of the science and a drive to understand how the human system really works — and how to fix it when it doesn't. I chose to specialize in primary care because it is the front line of medicine. We have an opportunity to get to know a patient in a way that no other specialty can and develop a long-term relationship with them. We can leverage these relationships to work with patients to prevent serious problems before they start or manage developing problems before they get serious. This improves their quality of life and, in the process, limits the need for later specialized care and hospitalization. My approach to care is holistic. This means that every time I meet with a patient, I’m going to ask a lot of questions not just about what hurts, but what concerns them, possible causes of stress or anxiety, their goals, their family history, their diet and other related topics. The more we know, the more we can put any new or ongoing conditions into a larger context that will allow us to better treat them. My main goal as a doctor is to get to the root of the problem and not just treat symptoms. In family medicine, our training and experience have prepared us to competently diagnose and treat a great variety of conditions and, when necessary, work as a team with our wonderful specialists to achieve a positive outcome.
