Patient Care Philosophy

I value the full spectrum of family medicine and always try to care for people in the context of their environment and challenges. I balance the art with the science of medicine, and I enjoy providing evidence-based, cost-effective care. At CDCHC, I’ve been able to deliver two great-grandchildren of a 90-year-old patient, and caring for all four generations of this family.

Why I Work Here

The mission of providing care regardless of people’s ability to pay has always struck a chord with me. I enjoy working with people from different cultures and particularly value working with refugees and those seeking asylum. I treasure long-term relationships with my patients.
