I became a doctor because I wanted to make a positive difference in peoples lives every day. I keep abreast of the latest health recommendations and evidence-based medicine, but I treat each patient individually based on their unique needs. By listening to my patients concerns, I can almost always help them. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, playing tennis, hiking, and bird watching. I am a huge fan of almost all animals”even the scary ones!
