As a general internist with expertise in preventive medicine, I specialize in Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and mental health. My clinical focus is health maintenance, chronic illness management and primary care. I perform common office procedures, including the biopsy of skin lesions, PAP smears and select joint injections. I am board-certified in Internal Medicine and a member of the American College of Physicians.Originally from the Boston area, I received my undergraduate degree from Tufts University and worked in research at both Brigham and Women's and Boston City hospitals. I graduated from UVM Larner College of Medicine and completed my residency in Internal Medicine at University of Vermont Medical Center. I also spent 11 years as an internist at Champlain Valley Physician's Hospital in Plattsburgh, New York.On a personal note, I have two children and have lived in Burlington for 20+ years and love it here.
