My specialties:
- Family medicine
Professional interests:
- Chronic disease management
- Hypertension
- Hyperlipidemia
- Sports Medicine
- Preventive care
I am a board-certified family medicine physician practicing at Allina Health Nicollet Mall Clinic. I have professional interests in chronic disease management, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sports medicine and preventive medicine.
I see patients who are 18 years and older.
I became a provider because: my family doctor growing up was a great role model, thoughtful listener and tremendous community advocate. I wanted to be just like him when I grew up.
Something I have learned from my patients is: I may not always have a magic remedy to fix something right away but sometimes people just need their doctor to listen to them.
I am passionate about: fitness and exercise. I've learned that I feel so much better after a walk, working out, or playing a sport. I hope to motivate my patients to find an enjoyable physical activity they can incorporate into their lives as well.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: exploring and understanding the barriers my patients experience that prevent them from reaching their own personal health goals. I enjoy working with my patients as a team to overcome these obstacles to improve their health.
