A Place to Grow Pediatrics

I chose family medicine because I enjoy taking care of all ages. When I started my practice, I delivered babies, cared for them as newborns and saw the whole age spectrum, all the way to older folks. I really do view every person as created in God's image and I take seriously God's injunction to care for every patient as part of our service to Him. As my practice has aged, our patient base has aged with it. I'm caring for a lot more seniors in my practice. When my patients come to see me, especially at the 65 Prime Plus clinic, I want them to know that we've set aside adequate time to be able to talk with them, to go over their history, review their medication list and really delve into the issues they're concerned about.

My health issues as a kid and wanting to work with people drove my interest in medicine. I am most passionate about helping my patients and building a relationship with them. If I can't be the one to help my patients, I want to help them find the care they need and coordinate their care. The most gratifying part of practicing medicine is when patients get better and being able to help.
