Patient/Physician Philosophy:
I feel my role as a primary care physician includes collaborating with my patients to make educated choices about their health concerns and prevention of disease. I also enjoy getting to know my patients and learning about other things in their lives that can often affect health and well being both positively and negatively!

Personal Interests:
I enjoy spending time with my husband, two daughters and son. I enjoy traveling, skiing, reading, and my pets. I am active with the American College of Physicians Washington Chapter and enjoy teaching medical students and residents whenever possible.

Why Minor & James Medical:
I joined Minor & James due to its reputation in having superb multi-disciplinary clinicians and a very collegial feel. I have been impressed with their commitment to quality and evidence-based medicine. It is an exciting time to join and expand the Bellevue Clinic!
