I am a full spectrum family medicine physician with an expertise in perinatal care and obstetrics. I am a practicing physician on the labor floor where I take care of laboring patients, postpartum dyads including newborns, as well as evaluation. In my primary care office, I provide well child care, preventive care for all ages, and chronic disease management. I also provide inpatient hospital care for adult patients of our practice. Outside of these areas, I have a special interest and background in refugee and immigrant health and co-direct the resident elective curriculum in this area.
