About
Philosophy of Care
Having grown up in rural Idaho, my first exposure to a physician was someone who had to be prepared to deal with a variety of medical conditions as access to a specialist was limited. As I have gone through my medical training, I have held on to the idea that a physician should be able to help a variety of people. Whether it be a life threatening condition or a minor injury, my passion involves getting people back to their goal activity level. From the potato farmer to the elite level athlete, my patients can expect a comprehensive approach to their care and access to a wide variety of treatment plans.
