Philosophy
I feel it is very important to educate my patients on their disease process, and explain why treatment options are recommended. I feel it is important for the patient to be an active participant in their care, and education is important to achieve this.
Personal Information
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and have always taken advantage of living in such a beautiful area. I enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer here, and you will often find me outside exploring with my family. I believe it is important to live an active and healthy lifestyle, and encourage the patients I work with to do the same.
In the Community
I volunteer at my children's school.
