About Me

Philosophy of Care

It is an absolute joy to serve our incredible patients, who inspire us daily with their wisdom, humor, grace, strength, and courage.

The essence of caring for aging patients go far beyond medical procedures and pills. Geriatricians are wired to listen and ponder, aiming to better understand what matters most to each patient. We evaluate thoroughly to deepen the understanding of where folks currently stand on the aging journey. We partner with each and their loved ones to come up with solutions that support, honor, and resonate.
