I am a board-certified internal medicine physician and rheumatologist. My professional interests include anti-inflammatory diet, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatic and psoriatic arthritis.
Practice Philosophy: Attention to patient's individuality is key in the art of medicine. I strive to ask insightful questions and listen to each unique story! It is important to me to discuss available science so my patients will feel empowered to make informed medical decisions. A large part of my practice is the role of nutrition and how an anti-inflammatory diet can positively affect the disease course, leading to sustained benefit from target therapies. I believe using this multi-disciplinary approach to treatment leads to a much improved quality of life.
