I care about my patients and want to help them stay active and well. I believe that it is important for me to listen to the patient, and to take the time needed to make the right diagnosis, as well as to ensure that the patient is well educated about their condition and treatment options. This enables them to make informed decisions about their health.

Saying that medicine is an art as well as a science best sums up my guiding philosophy. For me, it is very important to individualize medicine based on each unique scenario and each individuals goals of care and to discuss the available science so patients feel empowered to make informed medical decisions.

2017 to 2021: Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, University of Alabama at Birmingham. I strive to provide comprehensive, evidence based and up-to date care to my patients with utmost compassion. I believe in team building with my patients through good communication and encourage their involvement in treatment decision making and overall medical care.

The physicians of Northwest Rheumatology Associates specialize in Osteoporosis assessment and treatment. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, or fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine and wrist.
