I have been practicing medicine since 2004. Most of the time I have been providing care to populations who are largely on public forms of insurance or uninsured. I have both outpatient and hospital experience.

I enjoy outdoor activities, photography, living in rural settings and the collegial work environment that comes from shared goals and values.

One of the many challenges facing primary care is the patient who requires or believes they require controlled substances for treatment of their physical or emotional problems. While no one should be needlessly in pain, as a physician it is my duty to protect both patients under my care and the community as a whole from the potentially devastating effects of misused controlled substances. I manage these medications with proper drug testing of all patients on controlled substances, controlled substance contracts and patient accountability for protecting their medications.

My goal is to learn your clinic’s workflow and following all practice policies and procedures provide compassionate care; however I am not willing to prescribe abortion medications or morning after pills.
