Anemia | Biliary Disease | Esophageal Diseases | Gastroesophageal Reflux | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Intestinal Diseases | Liver Disease | Peptic Ulcer Disease | Stomach Diseases/DisordersMy duty in gastroenterology is to provide each patient with the highest quality, evidence-based care available. When seeing patients, my first step is understanding who they are as an individual and identifying their specific priorities and goals. I encourage each patient to take an active role in their health and believe education is essential for patients and their families. Through their personal involvement and education, patients acquire an exceptional understanding of their diagnoses.
I am a board-certified physician assistant in gastroenterology at St. Luke’s Monroe inpatient and outpatient settings. I completed my degree at DeSales University and have worked in gastroenterology for the past 15 years. I work alongside an amazing team of colleagues.
Outside work, I enjoy camping, hiking, reading and spending time with my family and pets. We live by “trusting our gut.”
