Every patient who presents their concerns to me, I listen whole-heartedly as I view human ailments as a mystery to be solved. From figuring out what ails you, to optimizing your health, I'm enthusiastic about partnering with my patients. Come in and let's make you a "better you"! ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, I enjoy reading, playtime with my kids, and giving belly rubs to my lab retrievers. ## Education and training **Medical school:** Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University School of Medicine **Internship:** Alameda County Medical Center, Highland Hospital ## Board certifications -
