Philosophy of Care

At the most vulnerable time in their lives, I want to empower my patients by educating them as much as I can, work with them and keep them actively involved in all the decisions we make.

I take care of them as a “person” and not a diagnosis. This way I always keep the “big picture” in the mind while paying attention to all the details.

Personal

My husband and I work full-time and we enjoy spending time with our two young children. We enjoy activities like camping, biking and hiking… and if there is any time left, I try to read (non medical literature of course). I am a big fan of NPR radio and I love watching re-runs of Seinfeld.
