About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 1994
Title(s): Residency Program Director
Academic Affiliations: Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

I’ve been caring for patients and teaching future doctors at MetroHealth for over 30 years. My focus is on primary care and substance use disorders, and I believe deeply in approaching every patient with curiosity and without judgment. Medicine isn’t just about treating illness—it’s about listening, learning, and growing together.

I’ve spent my career mentoring medical students and residents, and I find just as much joy in learning from them as I do in teaching. I speak Spanish and strive to make every patient feel heard and supported, no matter their background or circumstances.

Whether you’re coming in for routine care or facing a more complex challenge, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and a commitment to your well-being.

Research on substance use disorder and hepatitis C.

Numerous teaching awards through Ohio University, MetroHealth and Case Western Reserve University.
