About me
Work is a major aspect of a person’s overall well-being. As an Occupational and Environmental Medicine physician, my job is to help improve the care and well-being of workers. I use current standards of practice and collaborate with medical specialists. It’s important to me that my patients understand the nature of an injury or illness that is interfering with their ability to work. I help them develop and understand the plan of care to help them recover and return to work.
