About My Practice…

“As a primary care physician, I prioritize building meaningful, long-term relationships with my patients grounded in trust, accessibility, and respect. I believer excellent care goes beyond diagnosing and treating illness — it requires  listening closely, understanding individual goals, and addressing the physical, emotional, and social factors that impact health. My practice focuses on preventive care, chronic disease management, and coordinated treatment, while maintaining a compassionate, personalized approach. I strive to create an environment where patients feel heard, valued, and empowered to take an active role in their care.”

About Me…

“I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, which shaped my strong work ethic and resilience. Outside of medicine, I enjoy cars and the engineering behind them, as well as spending time raising my family, which is my greatest priority. I also have a deep connection with California and it’s lifestyle, reflecting my balance between dedication to work and enjoying life.”
