Occupation
PHYSICIAN
"As a general practitioner, I take care of the entire patient, encompassing all aspects of personal health at every stage of life. There is no issue that is outside of a general practitioner's scope of practice. The key to the successful care of patients is LISTENING and my patients will tell you that is my most endearing asset. I find great satisfaction in caring for my patients and being THE primary care physician in their lives and within my community."
