Biography

I am a family medicine doctor who provides preventive care for newborns through elderly patients, prenatal care, and general acute and chronic medical problems.

I assist my patients with reproductive health, prenatal care, women's health (including contraception, cervical cancer screening, and menopause), gender-affirming care and outpatient surgical procedures such as skin biopsy, circumcision, vasectomy and toenail removal.

I approach patient care as a partnership with each patient. While I will always share my medical opinions and recommendations, I love discussing how patients view their health and the solutions they are interested in pursuing.

I enjoy getting to know my patients over time. I think the best medicine comes from knowing a patient well enough to devise a treatment plan for their unique needs and situations.

I am excited to provide excellent, comprehensive care for people across their lifespans and to get to care for them in the context of their unique families.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, cooking mostly plant-based meals, traveling, exploring Portland and the wonders of Oregon and relaxing at home with my partner and our cat.
