I am a board-certified physician specializing in family medicine. My professional interests include wellness and preventive care, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and tick-related illnesses.
Hometown: Worthington, MN
Best part of my work: I enjoy helping patients make better choices regarding their health. It is rewarding for me to help someone navigate through our increasingly complex health system.
Why I became a physician: My father is a physician and I saw how much he enjoyed his work.
What I tell my friends and family: You can do more for your health by eating right and exercising than your doctor can.
How I spend my free time: Canoeing and camping in the BWCA, fishing on the Rum River with my boys, family trips and get-togethers.
What patients say about me: They tell me I am honest, as I will tell them what I think they need to hear, even if they do not always want to hear it! I also believe that they know how much I care about them.
Favorite health tip: Get into a habit of doing a complete physical exam once a year.
Practice philosophy: I want to partner with my patients to help them feel as good as possible, so they can try to avoid seeing me!
