My Approach to Healthcare
I love Family Medicine. As a family medicine provider, I have the opportunity to care for newborns, adolescents, young adults and seasoned adults. I helped to birth life and sat in family circles at the end of life. I believe in the patient and provider partnership in healthcare. My responsibility as your provider is to ensure that you have a primary care home and an advocate as you navigate the health care landscape. Patients should not walk through the stages of life alone. In Family Medicine, I have the honor to walk alongside you for every stage of the journey.
