Summary

• I am a Board Certified Specialist with certifications in Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine and Sleep Medicine. I have interests in general pulmonary medicine, lung nodule evaluation, chronic cough, asthma, Alpha-1 Anti Trypsin Deficiency, COPD, emphysema, and interstitial lung disease. I believe in using the fewest number of medications, at the lowest doses possible, to help treat patients. I try very hard to use evidence based medicine, limit excessive testing, patient education, and reinforcing communication among all of a patient's health care providers. I always tell patients that I only recommend treatments and refer patients to physicians that I would send family to see. Our office uses electronic medical records which allows us to communicate with other physicians efficiently.
  
  I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio and am a devoted Ohio State Buckeye and Cleveland Guardians fan. I am married to a fantastic wife and have three terrific children.
