After being in private practice for almost 20 years as an internal medicine physician, I believe it is my job to help people achieve optimal health and wellness through knowledge, experience and compassion. Instead of pushing people through the system to meet the demands of volume based medicine, I hope to create an atmosphere with MDVIP where the patient and I can collaborate to make important diagnoses, tailor treatment plans and make reasonable lifestyle adjustments to improve the overall quality of life, despite the age or underlying medical condition.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, focuses on chronic medical conditions including hypertension, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. I also have a special interest in geriatrics, women’s health, integrative health and prevention. I like to focus on nutrition and exercise as a means to improve overall health and mental well- being, in addition to treating chronic conditions. As a primary care physician affiliated with Saint Marks Hospital and a part-time contractor with Utah Regional Hospitalists, I hope to provide excellent medical care in a personalized manner.
