PHYSICIAN DETAIL 
Philosophy of Care
I believe that the essence of medicine is caring for people. The doctor-patient relationship is a privilege to be respected and nurtured by the physician. I practice medicine in a considerate, patient-oriented manner and advocate on behalf of my patients, despite the limits of managed care.
Hobbies
When I am not working, I enjoy playing the guitar, throwing par on the local Frisbee/disc golf course, playing with my two Cavalier Spaniels, digital photography and attending live theater.
