Professional Summary:

I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician who provides comprehensive primary care to adults and children of all ages.

I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, PA in May 2022. I completed my medical residency in family medicine at University at Buffalo in June 2025. During my residency, I served as chief resident for the Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital/Amherst track of the Family Medicine Residency Program. I also completed additional training in medical education during my residency as a member of the Academic Faculty Development track.

I provide a range of services to my patients, including preventative care, chronic disease management, and treatment of acute illnesses in the clinic. I also provide hospital care to patients of the clinic who are admitted to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital.

I am dedicated to the treatment of the whole patient, including physical, social, emotional, and psychological components of health. I am passionate about medical student and resident education and am involved with the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences family medicine clerkship.
