A CU Medicine provider.
I strive to provide the best care for my patients and families. I believe in treating the person as a whole, taking every aspect of a patient’s body and health into consideration during diagnosis and treatment. I like to use a holistic approach to all my patients.
I have a daughter in college and I still like to watch soccer. I have a big black dog from the Denver Dumb Friends League and love to play with her. I am on a curling league and have been playing for one year.
