"My goal is to provide an excellent comprehensive education in Family Medicine in an open, honest atmosphere that encourages professional growth and quality patient care."

“About what are you passionate? “ When I think about that question, many things reverberate through my mind – my family, medicine, life. What makes me passionate about them is my desire to change the world to make it a better place – be it for my daughter, a resident, a staff member, or the world. “Change the world ????” you say ! Yes, pretty lofty ideals, I know. But we educate residents who then, as our graduates, go out into our community, our state, our country, and our world to practice the ‘art’ and science of family medicine, changing ‘our’ world to make it a better place. Yes, a better place for all of us.
