Philosophy of Care
I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive vascular care that is high-quality, patient-centered, and evidence-driven. I believe in doing what is best for my patients. Therefore, I endeavor to offer them access to the most advanced and effective techniques and technologies for treatment of their various conditions. I value the patient-physician partnership. Thus, it is my mission to engage my patients in the decision-making process, to understand their preferences, and to personalize my plan to each patient's unique circumstance, offering them solutions that integrate the best medical and surgical interventions to help their reach their health goals.

She has special clinical interests in the the treatment of peripheral arterial disease and venous insufficiency with the goal of restoring function and improving patient quality of life.
