About Me

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

I started reading about the body around age six.

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

Pain can be a multifaceted problem and presents a very unique challenge.

How do you connect with your patients?

I try to understand what is causing their pain and develop reasonable goals.

What is your advice for your patients?

Exercise and stay as active as possible - inactivity makes pain worse.
