I've wanted to be a physician since my earliest recollection, and I attribute that to my dad. He was a doctor, and I admired him for how he loved his work and loved taking care of people. Now as a physician myself, I too love being able to take my education and abilities and exercise them on behalf of other people.
The most exciting part of being a gastroenterologist at Revere Health is the first few seconds of the patient encounter when I ask, "What brings you in to see me today?" Patients tell me their stories, we get to know each other and I figure out how I can best help them. I am empathetic with my patients; I strive to heal not only their illnesses, but also their emotional hurts, concerns and losses.
As a member of the board at Revere Health, I am very proud of our organization. We empower some of the most honest, noble and well-intentioned physicians to exercise their talents and skills on behalf of our patients.
I am married with six children and 16 grandchildren. I am an avid runner and have competed in many marathons. I enjoy backpacking in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming, and I play lead guitar in a band I created with other medical professionals.
