My approach to patient care is centered on you as an individual, not just as a patient. I believe building trust starts with taking the time to truly get to know you: your goals, concerns, values and what matters most in your life. Every patient deserves to feel heard, respected and understood, and I take personal responsibility to make sure your voice is a key part of your care. Additionally, I incorporate evidence-based medicine and work closely with your entire surgical team to provide coordinated, supportive care before, during and after surgery. My goal is for you to feel guided, informed and empowered every step of the way, because the best outcomes come from teamwork.
My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Colorado Springs community and trading the clouds of New England and the Midwest for some sunny skies! My fiancée is in his final steps to becoming a commercial airline pilot. I love spending time with my family and cheering on my siblings at their sports games. Together, we enjoy traveling, walking or running with our dog, exploring new restaurants around town, and cheering for our alma mater, the Ohio State Buckeyes!
