Practice Philosophy

I believe in open communication between the doctor and patient to achieve the best possible outcomes. Apart from utilizing the most up-to-date evidence behind recommending a treatment, I am committed to helping my patients understand various forms of arthritis, connective tissue and autoimmune diseases. The most important aspect of treatment is to work together to arrive at a plan that is acceptable, safe and effective.

Personal

I am happily married to my partner, and love sharing my life with my two spoiled dogs – Skye and Scout. When not working, I enjoy outdoor activities such as gardening, hiking, kayaking, cooking and spending time with my family.
