I’m an internal medicine physician who believes good medicine starts with time, curiosity, and knowing patients as people—not just problems to fix.

After more than 15 years practicing and teaching in traditional healthcare settings, I came to the same conclusion many patients do: the system often makes it hard to deliver the kind of care people want. Short visits, fragmented communication, and a focus on reacting to illness instead of preventing it leave both patients and clinicians frustrated.

This practice was built to offer something different.

I’m board-certified in Internal Medicine and have spent much of my career caring for adults with complex medical needs. Teaching has been a central part of my work, helping clinicians translate evidence into practical, patient-centered care.

I’m also a co-founder and host of The Curbsiders, an educational podcast for healthcare professionals. Teaching has shaped how I practice medicine—I prioritize clear explanations, shared decision-making, and meeting people where they are.

I believe the most powerful medicine happens upstream.

That means focusing on prevention, lifestyle, and long-term health while staying grounded in evidence-based care. Exercise, sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, and mental well-being aren’t “extras”—they’re core to good medicine.

Care should be collaborative and unhurried. My role is to help you understand your options, weigh tradeoffs, and make decisions that align with your goals and values.
