I connect with patients on a personal level over life’s journey, interests, and questions around health and wellness. I find it important to invest in patients as the people they are rather than the medical needs they have.
I grew up along the Front Range where much of my family still lives and hope to remain here long-term. For fun, I enjoy bouldering, jogging, hiking, skiing and reading. I’m also interested in personal growth, outdoor adventure, investing in multi-family real estate and Latin America. I’m passionate about volunteer medical work in Latin American countries, particularly Mexico and most recently in Baja California.
¡Ofrezco atención médica en español!
Establezco una conexión con mis pacientes a nivel personal a través de las experiencias de vida, intereses y cuestiones relacionadas con la salud y el bienestar. Me parece importante ver a mis pacientes como seres humanos e individuos en lugar de enfocarme únicamente en sus necesidades médicas.
Crecí en la zona de Las Montañas Rocosas donde aún vive gran parte de mi familia y espero quedarme aquí por mucho tiempo. He vivido y trabajado como científico y doctor en el norte de Baja California, el sur de México, Guatemala y Bolivia. Admiro las tradiciones, culturas e idiomas de las Américas y ser su médico sería un verdadero privilegio para mí.

I am particularly interested in social determinants of health. They are profoundly important predictor of health and wellness and importantly are modifiable on a community level.
