What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love providing electronic, telemedical care and primary care. Being here at Circle allows me to do both. I feel that technology enhances our ability to provide amazing care. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? I think the primary care provider needs to be the advocate for the patient. The patient's best friend. There needs to be a trusting, loving relationship that occurs so that there is always the "go-to person". People need to have knowledgeable resources to navigate the confusing maze of today's healthcare system. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to be with my wife, children, and pets. We enjoy reading together, taking walks, and having fun.
