About Me:

I am interested in practicing evidence-based, patient centered medical care. In my role as a healthcare facilitator, I partner with patients to empower them to make the best decisions they can for themselves. Each person has a unique story. By aiming to understand what is important to each individual, I can optimize care and prioritize their concerns. I seek to give patients the tools they need to better their overall health. I believe in a whole person approach to wellness that is not strictly limited to medications. You may frequently see me applying a simple model: what's your perspective, what's important to you, and finally, what are your goals? I am privileged to work with and train medical students and residents to become future physicians. I am a recipicient of PDX Monthly 2020 Top Doctor. My hobbies include: indoor rowing, swimming, running, and cycling. Cooking, making artisan bread and pizza. Spending time with my wife and dog. Traveling, dancing, reading.
