Biographical Information
A visit to the emergency department is hardly routine for my patients. I take great satisfaction in being a reassuring presence for my patients in what otherwise would be a terrible day.
As an emergency physician, I enjoy reaching out to my patients a day or two after a visit to see how they are doing and answer any questions that have come up since their visit.
My specialties are traumatic injuries and opioid use disorder. A big part of my approach to care is ensuring good health literacy because it leads to better outcomes. I spend a lot of time talking with patients about navigating the health system, what to expect with their diagnosis, what the next steps are in their workup and which doctor they should follow up with.
Before joining the UVM Medical Center, I worked as an emergency physician for the US Navy, deploying to Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq. I received my medical degree from A.T. Still University, School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and I did my Emergency Medicine specialty training at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Portsmouth VA.
