Scope
Acute and urgent care for adults and children: the full range of walk-in presentations, injuries, infections, pre-operative clearance, occupational and motor-vehicle injuries, and the diagnoses that were missed elsewhere. She practices with full clinical autonomy and reviews every visit that happens under her leadership.
Philosophy of care
She listens, and then she goes looking. She will take the less-traveled path when the obvious one does not add up. She says no when no is the right answer, calmly, with an explanation, and then gets to work on what will actually help. Her patients say she is not easy. They also say she is what they needed.
Scale
Half of every patient the practice has ever seen, she saw personally, within a practice that has cared for more than 35,000+ patients since 2021.
