Endocrinology – the study of how hormones interact with the body – fascinates me. It has seen a tremendous transformation in the last 50 years. I love being in an academic medical setting where future physicians and medical professionals train. We all learn from each other. As a physician for more than 20 years, I have learned a great deal from listening to my patients. I always encourage patients and family members to ask questions. Having involved family members provides better results. Being partners in care with my patients helps them reach the best results. Helping patients and families with endocrine conditions is the most rewarding part of my job. Our family is delighted to be in New Hampshire, a place of beauty, history, and genuinely friendly people. There are many places to explore. We love hiking, cross country and downhill skiing.

When it comes to my patients, we’re a team. It’s us versus their condition. My patients have my full attention as we address not just their symptoms but their health overall. Helping patients in their time of need motivated me to become a dermatologist, especially when it comes to illnesses that are visible to others. My goal is to see health improvements that satisfy my patients. The fact that those patients consider my care to be thorough, gentle and stress-free is an added bonus.
