Professional Background

I am an Internist and ABOM-certified physician specializing in Obesity Medicine. Before transitioning to this field, I practiced hospital-based medicine, where I gained a deep appreciation for the many diseases that stem from or are exacerbated by obesity. I am passionate about creating a supportive environment where I can partner with patients to help them achieve their health goals. Our clinic provides up-to-date, evidence-based care with a strong emphasis on promoting a healthy lifestyle.
