Everything is a two-way conversation, I commonly say it is my job to make recommendations and the patient’s job to make decisions.

I grew up in Springfield Township, went to University of Akron for college, West Virginia University for medical school, and returned to Akron for residency and faculty appointment for the first few years after residency before joining Pioneer. 

Outside of medicine, I am married with two kids, two dogs, and two cats. I enjoy being outdoors and am always reading something.
