A CU Medicine provider.
I believe that taking the time to listen to my patient and their family helps me better understand their concerns. I am a proponent of shared decision making and take my time to explain medical issues in easy to understand language. I want my patient’s to leave their appointment feeling that there time was well spent, are active participants in their care, and understand our plan of care. I enjoy working closely with the Epilepsy team so that we can provide the best care to all of our patients.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two kids and participating in outdoor activites.

- Clinical interest for patients
-
I have been around epilepsy my whole life as my oldest sister has epilepsy. I think that this allows me to better understand the complexity of care, relate to patients and their families, and my personal experience with epilepsy makes me focus on overall quality of life.
