I’m a staff physician specializing in rheumatology. I enjoy helping children and families improve their health and love working with children because of their strength and resilience. I encourage regular communication with my patients through MyChart.

I believe in caring for the whole child and not just their condition. Patients that experience the best outcomes are those who understand the importance of caring for themselves by taking their medications, eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting good sleep. It is also essential that they take care of their mental health.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family (my wife, four children, two dogs and two cats). We have a small pond behind our house, and I enjoy catch-and-release fishing. I also like gardening and running 5Ks.
