Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic

My interest in disease prevention drove me to clinical medicine. My faith in clinical preventive medicine and primary care remains staunch and is the driving force behind being a physician. I believe in educating patients and increasing their awareness about their diseases. I think in this manner, patients can participate in their care management. I feel that physician-patient shared decision making always achieves better results. Outside of work, I enjoy painting and spending time with my family.

My clinical work spans two fairly different settings across Medicine and Pediatrics. As an internist, I see adults in primary care clinic, striving to help patients pursue health and wellness goals in a way that is consistent with their overall values and wishes. As a pediatrician, I see children in the hospital setting, managing acute inpatient medical issues and coordinating care with subspecialists and primary care physicians. I am also passionate about medical education and frequently work with both medical students and residents across all levels of training and clinical contexts.
