About Me
I am a dedicated emergency physician with a passion for providing hands-on care to patients of all ages. I believe emergency medicine offers a unique opportunity to address a wide range of illnesses, from minor ailments to critical conditions, with an immediate and meaningful impact. My approach combines medical expertise with procedural care, ensuring patients receive swift, compassionate treatment tailored to their needs.
With four years of active duty service as an emergency physician in the U.S. Air Force, I trained and deployed as a critical care air transport physician and served as medical director for EMS within the Air Force. These experiences have shaped my commitment to patient-centered care, emphasizing shared decision-making and realistic, achievable treatment goals.
I find fulfillment in witnessing the immediate results of care provided and values partnering with patients to treat their urgent medical needs while respecting their wishes and priorities. I bring extensive experience and a practical approach to emergency medicine, ensuring patients and their families receive the highest standard of care during critical moments.
