About Me
I am an endocrinologist and researcher who has a special interest in the care of patients with diabetes and metabolic disease. My goal is to provide the highest quality of care to my patients and to equip them with the knowledge and confidence needed to manage their health conditions. I believe it is exceedingly important to understand barriers to care and to individualize therapeutic approaches based on unique patient factors. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, cooking, and planning fun activities outdoors.
