About me

Endocrinology – the study of how hormones interact with the body – fascinates me. It has seen a tremendous transformation in the last 50 years. I love being in an academic medical setting where future physicians and medical professionals train. We all learn from each other.

As a physician for more than 20 years, I have learned a great deal from listening to my patients. I always encourage patients and family members to ask questions. Having involved family members provides better results. Being partners in care with my patients helps them reach the best results. Helping patients and families with endocrine conditions is the most rewarding part of my job.

Our family is delighted to be in New Hampshire, a place of beauty, history, and genuinely friendly people. There are many places to explore. We love hiking, cross country and downhill skiing.
