From the Doctor:
I moved to Florida in the 1990s for my residency training in family practice. Before becoming a family physician, I served as a chief resident and later instructed medical students. My husband, an electrical engineer, and I have four children, two in college and two in middle school. I enjoy swimming and travelling with my family.
My philosophy of care is to treat both the physical and emotional health of my patients. I also believe in shared decision-making.
In the past, I have volunteered my services at a number of charity clinics.
