Care Philosophy: My care philosophy is simple: Treat patients how I would want to be treated. Orthopedic injuries and navigating the healthcare system these days can be a frightening and daunting experience. My goal is to ensure that all patients knows their time is valued and that our appreciation for them and their trust in our team is important. My hope is that all patients walks away from a visit feeling like their treatment plan was individualized to their specific goals and needs. Your injury is important - and you should feel that way also.

Care Philosophy: We focus on adult primary care, beginning at age 18 through geriatric care. We have appointments for diagnosing current primary care problems, chronic long-term problems, and preventative care (physicals and health maintenance). We also work with specialists to help our patients manage complex medical problems.
