About Me
In the fast-paced environment of the emergency department, a physician-patient relationship must be established instantly, anytime — day or night. Sometimes, this happens in moments of crisis or distress and the patient has no agency in researching and choosing their physician.
I embrace patient welfare as my primary professional responsibility, responding promptly and expertly to any patient's need for emergency medical care with compassion and respect. I'm passionate about my duty to engage in ongoing study to maintain the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality care.
I earned my medical degree at UVM's Larner College of Medicine and trained in emergency medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.
My career has included a focus on quality improvement, health care operations management and health care delivery innovation.
I embrace patient welfare as my primary professional responsibility, responding promptly and expertly to any patient's need for emergency medical care with compassion and respect.
