" My approach to family medicine is rooted in compassion, accessibility, and community-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person — not just their symptoms — by understanding the social, cultural, and environmental factors that shape their health. In rural medicine, especially, strong patient relationships and trust are essential. I am committed to providing comprehensive, evidence-based care while maintaining the warmth and familiarity that rural communities value. My philosophy emphasizes preventive health, patient education, and empowering individuals to take an active role in their well-being. I strive to be a consistent, reliable presence for families across all stages of life, ensuring that high-quality care is available close to home."
