Care Philosophy: I am a family practice trained osteopathic physician. Between the holistic philosophy that my education provided and the experience I have had in practice, I have chose to narrow my focus to the sub-specialty of managing solely fibromyalgia syndrome. I'm often asked, ``What is it that's drawn you in that direction?`` And my response always is... ``Imagine a job where you have the ability to positively impact every patient you see.`` I am honored to have the privilege to work with the fibromyalgia community.
