About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 1992
Academic Affiliations: Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

This August marks my 33rd year at MetroHealth. After completing my fellowship in musculoskeletal medicine at LSU in New Orleans, I joined MetroHealth with a deep commitment to helping patients improve their function and quality of life.

I chose the field of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation because of its holistic, patient-centered approach. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of physical challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand how rehabilitation can restore independence and hope. I’m also board-certified in Pain Medicine, which allows me to help patients manage chronic pain—one of the most common and life-altering symptoms people face.

My goal is always to treat the whole person, not just the condition. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with long-term pain, I’m here to listen, support, and guide you toward a better quality of life.

I’m proud to serve as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, helping train the next generation of physicians. It’s an honor to continue growing alongside my patients and colleagues in a field that’s all about resilience, recovery, and restoring what matters most.
