What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? It's been such an honor to have had the opportunity to serve my patients for over 12 years in their pursuit of an optimum balance of both physical and mental health. 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? Primary care physicians have the unique training and perspective to treat a full spectrum of medical issues, preventative medicine and behavioral health issues. Treating the full spectrum of our patient's needs is the hallmark of being a Family Medicine physician. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I spend a lot of time enjoying the beautiful outdoor weather on Florida's beaches, theme parks, kayaking, and surfing. I also spend weekends coaching my 11-year old son on his go-kart racing team.
