Summary

  • I have 20 years experience practicing as a board certified practitioner in family medicine and OMM. While receiving awards and honors for my warm jovial bedside manner, compassionate comprehensive treatment of patients with acute and chronic diseases I was recognized by my organization as a top scorer for primary care quality metric achievements the past 3 years. I have offered osteopathic manipulative therapy to patients as an adjuvant therapy to reduce inflammation, illness and pain. Patients have been thrilled to reduce the need for medication and long term controlled substances. For 19 years I have provided care for patients who have obesity. I became board certified in obesity medicine in January 2012 and am now a fellow. I have enjoyed teaching national board review courses for Obesity medicine and giving presentations at the state level, to churches and schools.
