About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 1994
Academic Affiliations: Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

I’m Director of the Cancer Rehabilitation and Lymphedema programs at MetroHealth. I’ve been caring for patients here since 1994 and also serve as a Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

My clinical focus includes cancer rehabilitation, lymphedema care, neurorehabilitation, and electrodiagnostic testing. I’m board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and Brain Injury Medicine. I earned my medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed my residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

In every patient interaction, I take a comprehensive approach—looking at the whole person to help maximize recovery and improve quality of life. My goal is to help you feel and function at your best.
