Clinical Interests
As a faculty member of The Ohio State University Department of Family Medicine, I have the opportunity to be able to teach and provide patient care. I enjoy teaching medical students and residents and mentoring them through their learning years. My special interests include cardiovascular medicine, women's health and chronic disease management. However, as a family physician I enjoy the full spectrum of family medicine caring for newborns to geriatric patients. I feel privileged to care for patients and their families. My goal is to empower patients with knowledge to help them get involved in their own care and create a trusting and meaningful patient-physician relationship.
