How I fell in love with my specialty: I chose family medicine for two main reasons. First, family medicine is intellectually challenging. Patients come in with many different concerns from head to toe, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out exactly what is going on to come up with an appropriate treatment plan. The second thing I enjoy is the lifelong relationships with patients and their families.

Three things people may not know about me
