My father was a physician and inspired me from a young age to help others and become a physician myself. From carrying his doctor’s bag for him as a child to just observing what a kind, gentle man he was with such a strong sense of compassion, I knew I was meant to follow in his footsteps. Now with more than 20 years of experience in family medicine, I truly believe my life’s purpose is to help my patients in any way I can. I am a physician for all ages, seeing patients from birth to 100 years old and beyond. I am skilled in many in-office procedures, including biopsies, cryosurgery, joint injections and laceration repairs. I believe in a team approach to care, and always work together with my patients to give them the treatment that is agreeable for their lifestyle and that will benefit them the most. My philosophy, which I follow in my practice as well as my everyday life, is “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. I’ve learned that if you put your patients first and treat them with respect and dignity, you develop long-lasting relationships and are able to give even better medical care. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, golfing, reading, and working around my ranch. My wife and I are also passionate about animals and have rescued two horses, four dogs, and three cats.
