From the Doctor:
I think that a large part of my job is to educate my patients and myself about the choices we need to make to attain and maintain good health. I believe the doctor-patient relationship is a partnership in which both parties need to accept personal responsibility for the choices we make. I value the bonds I've formed with my patients over the years.
I am happily married and have three adult children and one grandchild. I enjoy gardening, listening to music, exercising, cooking, traveling and lifelong education on a variety of subjects.
