Special Interests
"I have become a preventative medical specialist but my first love will always be taking care of patients in the perioperative period. I do really enjoy the long term care of my patients also because I am a 'people person.' I really LOVE diagnostic challenges.
If patients need to find me after hours, check Autozone Park or Busch Stadium; I have been in love with baseball all my life and try to infect as many people as possible with this bug! It is quite contagious!"
