About Me

My special interests include osteoporosis, older driver safety, heart health, dementia, memory care and advance care planning.

It's important to me to get to know my patients as people so I can help them make the best decisions about their care. I take time to explain my patients' medical conditions in plain language to ensure they feel empowered to manage their health.
