About me

  • Assistant Program Director, Family Medicine Residency
  • Assistant Professor of Clinical Family Medicine and Community Health

As a family medicine physician, I strive to work together with patients and families to meet their health goals. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care in a warm, welcoming environment for patients of all ages, racial and ethnic background, genders and sexual orientations. At Penn Family Care, I provide well child care, preventive care for all ages, and chronic disease management. I have a special interest and expertise in reproductive health, preconception counseling, and prenatal care. At the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania, I deliver babies and provide post-partum and newborn care. At Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, I provide inpatient hospital care for adults of our practice. I am passionate about medical education and often work with medical students and residents in the office. I look forward to seeing you and your family in our office!
