MD, DABFM, FAAFP
I strive to offer high-quality health care which I believe matches high-tech tools with individual needs. I love being a family physician. I recognize that our current health care system is broken and must be fixed. The increased use of family physicians and a medical home will increase quality of care and patient satisfaction. Greater use of family physicians will also lower our costs for health care as a nation.
