What are your main focuses of practice?
In my role as a Physician Assistant, my main focuses are Addiction Medicine and Internal Medicine.
What other areas of the medical field have you worked in prior to Horizon?
I have previously worked in Neurology, Neuro-Oncology, Occupational Medicine, and Academia.
What’s your why? (What makes Horizon special to you? What motivates you to contribute your best every day?)
Having watched and experienced individuals in my life struggle with addiction and mental illness, I have a personal connection to these diseases. I strive to treat others the way I would want my family and friends to be treated if they were seeking help.
What would you tell a patient or family member who may be hesitant to reach out for help? What would you want them to know about our services and treatment?
