My education at LECOM instilled in me a deep commitment to the osteopathic ethos, which continues to guide my practice as an Endocrinologist. I view each patient as a complex individual—an amalgamation of their genetics, environment, and life experiences. By considering their psychosocial, physical, and metabolic needs, I seek to understand the root cause of their illness. This holistic approach is fundamental to discovering the “why” for every patient and helping them achieve their best possible health.
