- Implanon insertion
I am a board-certified family medicine physician with professional interests in obstetrics, pregnancy care and deliveries, pediatrics, women's health and Nexplanon insertion.
Best part of my work: Seeing my patients is the highlight of my day. I enjoy watching them succeed in maintaining or changing habits to better their health.
Why I became a physician: I remember having surgery as a child and being scared. As a child, no one thought to explain to me, the patient, what to expect. This experience inspired me to go into medicine to help patients of all ages understand an often confusing and scary situation.
What I tell friends and family: Be an active participant in your care. If you don't understand, ask questions.
How I spend my free time: I love to spend time with my family. I enjoy swimming, biking, cooking, crafting and being outdoors.
What patients say about me: I take time to be with each of my patients.
Favorite health tip: Make small changes frequently and they will add up to big benefits.
Practice philosophy: I try to listen to my patients and help them to be an active participant in their entire health care experience.
