About Me

I am a fellowship-trained critical care pulmonologist at Memorial Healthcare System, where I care for patients with asthma, lung cancer, lung nodules and a range of other respiratory conditions.

One of the things I love most about pulmonary medicine is that I’m constantly learning. My knowledge and experience grow with every patient encounter, which helps me prioritize the human side of medicine. I also think the complexity of the respiratory system is fascinating, which is what first drew me to the field. It’s the ideal balance of intellectual challenge and meaningful impact.

My approach to care is built on communication and patient education. I enjoy using advanced technologies to provide comprehensive care for my patients. I have a strong desire to help people, and I take pride in helping my patients and their families make the best decisions for their health.

I am certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Pulmonary Medicine and the American Board of Critical Care Medicine.
