Promoting excellent health and wellness centered on the doctor-patient relationship without limitations.

As a family medicine doctor I get the privilege to get to know people, their motivations, assist people towards their goals and support them through hardships. Working closely with people and the constant desire to learn more is why I want to be a physician.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Music at the James Madison University in Virginia. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, completed a Surgical Internship at Boston Medical Center and Residency in Family Medicine in 2015 at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

After completion of my training, I returned to Boston to work at Community Health Center. The most rewarding part of being a physician is making a positive difference in my patients’ lives. I always enjoyed the time I spend with my patients, but I found that the barriers and restrictions placed by insurance companies was preventing me being the doctor I sought out to be.

I was ecstatic to find a new style of medical practice called Direct Primary Care (DPC) that would allow me to focus on the doctor-patient relationship. DPC allow for quality time with my patients, without having to rush through visits or adjust necessary medical therapies based simply on what insurance dictated. This allows me to keep the focus on where health care belongs: on you, the patient.

My areas of special interest include preventative health and management of chronic illnesses, including HIV; metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity; sports-related injuries; and caring for patients in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender communities.

I currently reside in the South End. I spend much of my free time with friends and in the gym weight training, currently I am preparing for a bodybuilding competition. I love experimenting with new recipes and creating meals that bring friends together… and trying out new restaurants when the experiments go awry.

I’m excited to be a part of the lives of the patients of Boston Direct Health, and to finally be able to be the family doctor that I have always wanted to be and that you deserve.
