"I strongly believe that change comes to each person in a unique way, and my job is to help our community find its individual and collective way to make changes for better health—at any age, starting at any point. I am able to provide diverse, comprehensive care to my patients at PPC~S by keeping up with the latest in medical research and knowledge, maintained on a diverse educational basis. I am board-certified in both Family Medicine and Clinical Lipidology. In addition, I am a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, a distinction given to physicians who devote their careers to the treatment & prevention of cardiovascular disease. I received my Master’s degree in Physiology from the University of Utah and my Doctor of Medicine from the University of Nevada School of Medicine. I completed an internship in OB/GYN, a residency in Family Medicine, and a fellowship in Preventive Cardiology at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. I have been in practice for over 22 years, with experience in HMO, University, group, academic, private practice, and research settings. In addition to caring for patients at my office, I perform Cardiovascular Stress Testing at Hillsboro Medical Center."
