Buffalo is a hidden gem — please don't tell anyone! I was born and raised in Western New York, but did my undergraduate work in the South and all my medical training in Chicago. As I grew older, I realized my heart was always in Buffalo, and I knew I would come back if the right job was available and the timing was right.

There is no other area in the country quite like this. It is affordable, comfortable, friendly, invigorating and exclusive. Just ask my husband, who is from Wisconsin. He loves Buffalo and we cannot imagine raising our family anywhere else.
