My medical journey began at the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine where I garnered my foundation and solidified my passion for this field. I completed my Internal Medicine Residency in my home state of Michigan at Henry Ford and fellowship training back where it all started in Kentucky at the University of Kentucky. As an endocrinologist, I specialize in a broad range of conditions, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, pituitary and adrenal issues, and bone health. I am excited to be part of a rapidly evolving field and am committed to providing patient-centered care.
