I joined the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 2000 and I am currently a Staff member in the department of General Internal Medicine and the Center for Women’s Health. I have a primary focus in Chronic Pelvic Pain, Menopause and Cardiovascular Health.

trained in Primary Care Internal Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. When I moved to Cleveland, I chose the Cleveland Clinic because of the dedication to teaching, excellence in patient care and the opportunity to continue working with residents and students.

As the Program Director for the Primary Track Program and director of the Ambulatory Clinics, I have the opportunity to introduce residents the same principles that have fueled my passion for medicine, education and research. I feel that primary care physicians have a powerful role in health care because our intimate knowledge of our patients health, lives and community. In Primary Care internal medicine we are able to establish the long term relationships with patients that help to create change, promote health and a commitment to preventative practices. Extensive knowledge of internal medicine allows us to streamline and focus diagnostic testing and treatment plans to provide the best patient care. It is truly the front lines of care.
