My story
Working as an Internist, the best part of my job has always been developing meaningful relationships with my patients. Over the years, however, I grew frustrated with the increasing use of pharmaceuticals to manage conditions that can be treated with lifestyle. It was time for a change.
Since prevention of disease has long been a passion of mine, I decided to forge a new path in Lifestyle Medicine. I'm really excited about this new approach to promoting health through our own behaviors instead of reacting to disease with costly medications and procedures. Collaborating with patients and empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need, my goal is to support my patients as they become the healthiest versions of themselves.
