Rheumatology is a specialty that deals with musculoskeletal diseases as well as autoimmune disorders, it requires a lot of detective work, digging for all pieces of the puzzle to formulate a diagnosis. My patient care philosophy is based on evidence-based Rheumatologic care. Taking care of patients, seeing their improvement, and getting them back to the quality of life they desire, is why I chose to be a Rheumatologist. My clinical interests include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory myopathies, and vasculitis. In my free time I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.
