Originally from northern New Jersey and having lived in upstate New York for 18 years, my family and I are now enjoying new adventures in Colorado and the Denver metro area. We are a family of four with two school-aged, very active, intelligent, engaging and sweet sons. My husband has been a registered nurse for more than 35 years. Although I have a master’s degree in toxicology, I decided to pursue medicine because of my experiences as a child with my father, an ob-gyn, and the ability to make meaningful human connections. I have been practicing family medicine since completing residency in 2003. I seek to make connections with my patients and help them find their best path to good health. I chose family medicine because knowing my patients and their families is an important part of good medicine. I also enjoy seeing patients of all ages and following each patient along their path of life. It is rewarding for me to guide patients through very difficult times, whether it be medical or social, and then hopefully help to bring those issues to resolution. I am proud that I have had many experiences during my practice as a family physician. Though some experiences have been challenging or difficult, each one has helped me to become a much stronger physician.
