      From the Doctor

      I grew up in a big family, with five brothers. I treat my patients like family, and want them to live happy and healthy lives. Rather than telling them what to do, I involve my patients in their own care, so the decisions we come to are mutual.

      In a time of rising health care costs, I know it's important for my patients to have a family physician they can trust, and I work to prevent health problems as well as cure them.

      My office schedule is part-time, and I am also accessible when patients need me. When I'm not practicing medicine, I enjoy reading, sewing, gardening and spending time with horses.
