Summary

  • I am a fellowship trained, board certified Hospice and Palliative Medicine physician with over 25 years of Emergency Medicine experience (board certified, grandfathered 1992). I love the team approach offered by Hospice and Palliative Care services and feel that these services increase patient/family satisfaction and decreases unnecessary cost.
