About Me

Taking time to understand my patients’ individual medical needs is the foundation of my relationship with them as their doctor. I provide exceptional care by taking the time to get to know my patients and their medical concerns. Patient involvement and decision-making conversations creates a real doctor/patient relationship that I find beneficial in determining the best plan for each patient. I want my patients to fully understand their medical situation and be comfortable with their care. I treat every patient with respect and compassion.

I always enjoyed science-based classes in school, in part due to my father, who was a chemist. I was drawn to medicine which allows me to draw on my love for science and helping others. The most rewarding part of my practice is helping my patients. It’s very satisfying to make life a little better for them and their loved ones.

I enjoy the team aspect of being an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor, coordinating with other providers to ensure the best possible plan of holistic medical care, as appropriate. I chose the ENT Specialty due to the variety of patients - from newborns to 100 year olds, and the fascinating problems I encounter.

After nearly twenty six years in practice, I am fortunate to call Quincy home now
