Full Professional Profile
Professional Experience & Philosophy
Medicine has always been more than a career for me — it’s been a mirror, a calling, and at times, a personal lifeline. I started out training in surgery, drawn to the precision and hands-on skill. But over time, I found myself craving deeper patient connection and broader healing tools — which led me into General Practice and eventually into functional, lifestyle and longevity medicine.
My path became even more personal when my own child faced health challenges where conventional answers just didn’t cut it. That experience cracked something open in me. I started searching beyond textbooks and guidelines — diving into mind-body connection, nutrition, bioidentical / body identical hormone restoration and the addressing the roots of cellular illness.
Now, I practice what I call whole-person medicine. Yes, I offer mole checks, joint injections, minor surgery, IV therapies, and all the rest — but I also bring my heart, my curiosity, and my willingness to sit with the tough questions. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’m relentless about finding them with you.

Assessment & Treatment Approach
I start with what many patients tell me they haven’t felt in a while — being heard. From there, I use a mix of detailed history, physical exams, dermoscopy, lab tests, and functional markers. My treatment style is layered and respectful of your body’s natural rhythm: we begin with the least invasive route, supporting your system with lifestyle, mindset and supplements first — and bring in interventions like hormone restorations, shockwave therapy, regenerative injections, or IV support when needed.
Patient-Centered Values
What matters to me most is how you feel — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. I take time to listen deeply, explain clearly, and hold space for your story, no matter how complex or unfinished it may feel. I see my role not as someone who “fixes” you, but as a partner walking alongside you — curious, attentive, and always rooting for your healing. If your care would benefit from another expert’s input, I won’t hesitate to bring them in — because your wellbeing is always the bigger picture.
