About
I chose internal medicine because I enjoy being around a wide variety of people and treating a broad range of conditions. I bring my strong background in molecular biology to my practice – I love being able to match that knowledge with the issues my patients are experiencing in order to improve their overall well-being.
I especially enjoy working with older patients. My interest in geriatric medicine began when I was very young and helping my grandmother – we were very close, and she lived to be 100. In addition, I volunteered with Cornell Elderly Partnership in New York, a program designed to help people in nursing homes fight social isolation and stay engaged in their lives.
My patient care philosophy is built around listening. I like to use patient visits as an opportunity to listen as much as possible. People know, or sense, when things in their bodies aren’t the way they should be, and they can give me a lot of the valuable information I need to determine what might be wrong – and how to treat it.
When I’m not at work, I’m usually reading, hiking, running and enjoying restaurants and road trips with my wife.
