Solidaritus Health Center

I have always strived for personalized care with a focus on prevention. When I was finally able to work in concierge medicine, which allowed the appropriate time to provide that type of attention to each patient, I loved it, and I couldn’t imagine practicing another way. However, I always wished this model of medicine could be brought to hardworking people for whom it otherwise would be out of reach. Solidaritus answered those wishes.

I have always aspired to create a non-judgmental atmosphere, so I can best understand my patients’ circumstances, their joys and their motivations. This allows me to partner with them in creating a healthier future going forward. I’m well-aware of my limitations of only understanding science and medicine, and I respect that each patient is an expert of themselves. However, I often say, I am an advocate for the body and that sometimes the mind has a difficult time acting in the best interest of the body. My goal is to find out how I can best teach and guide each person so we can compassionately address their health together.

I am a board certified family medicine physician, and I was recently certified through the Institute of Functional Medicine. When not tending to patients, I enjoy reading across many disciplines of medicine. I am fascinated with the history of healing through many cultures. I also love learning about healthy ways of cooking. My family and I are also always in search of fun walking trails and finding new places for our little dog to discover, particularly at a beach.
