About Me

I joined Central Vermont Medical Center's Rheumatology medical group practice in 2007. I received my medical degree at University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine.

My main philosophy about patient care focuses on education and shared decision-making. I believe that spending time with patients upfront to help them understand the complexities of their diagnosis and treatment improves the overall care process.
