A Compassionate Approach to Medicine

"Despite my extensive education, some of the most important things I've learned about being a doctor haven't come from books. Each patient is unique and has his or her own concerns. Taking the time to listen to those concerns and answer questions about their care is a critical part of being an excellent doctor."

Staying active in her profession


"Professional organizations and continuing-education courses help me stay on top of the latest developments in physical medicine and pain managment, so I can offer you the highest level of care. Our VAX-D treatment, for example, has a 75% success rate with repairing herniated discs of the lumbar spine. That means no surgery and no disc removal. It's one of many ways we strive to provide the most innovative care and the most powerful results."
