The integration of mind, body and spirit has been a guiding principal for my primary care practice. As a physician, I believe that true healthcare goes beyond “disease meets pill”. Health has to be fostered by increased awareness, understanding and giving people the tools they need to manifest and maintain their wellness. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice I will be afforded the opportunity to spend time with patients and more closely explore what they truly need to find or maintain a high level of health or wellness, or to deal with the complications that conditions have brought forward.

I am a board certified primary care physician and a proud graduate of the University of Arizona Medical School in Tucson. More than 10 years ago I left a traditional primary care practice to develop a more integrated approach to wellness. I personally created a shift in my own wellness practice, exploring the linages of food to good health and changing what and how I ate. As medicine evolves and reveals more of the opportunities we have – whether through eating, hormones, supplementation or other shifts in habits – we can better help our patients rediscover their health. I am especially keen on the gut-health link and have spent more time learning the intricacies of its impact on our bodies and the way we feel. I also work with a number of chronic care and complex patients, support those dealing with stress, as well as those with a variety of hormonal imbalances.

I’m proud to be an MDVIP-affiliated doctor for patients from all over the Phoenix metro region, but especially from the cities of Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale. We are often surprised at the drive some make to seek our care. We are honored to work with so many individuals who seek solutions beyond the quick fix.
