I am dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, and have worked in Primary Care for 23 years. For the last 7 years I have practiced in my own successful independent Direct Primary Care Clinic in Loveland Colorado. I have an ongoing collaboration with a Physician's Assistant during this time, as well as previous experience with supervision/collaboration. I enjoy mentorship, and my philosophy is to support and be readily available and approachable, as well as encouraging independence. I am passionate about preventative care and longevity, as well as being an advocate for patients and thinking outside of the traditional systems of care. My experience has given me an in-depth understanding of the challenges of owning an independent practice, and the innovation and determination required, as well as primary care in general.
