What are the biggest changes you have seen in healthcare over the years?
Naturally, electronic records are the biggest change, as far as keeping, accessing records and billing. One of the biggest changes for treatment comes from the fact that many are now working in what is often referred to as a “concrete jungle.” Working on concrete all day has certainly caused an influx of foot related problems, such as tarsal tunnel, plantar fasciitis and peroneal nerve entrapment.
What is your passion?
Professionally, I take the utmost pride in providing the best care possible to all of my patients and treat every patient with the same care I would provide to my very own mother.
Why did you apply to Centerville Clinics?
I wanted to stay close to my hometown and be able to make a positive difference in the healthcare of neighbors, friends and acquaintances.
What are you most proud of whether in your practice or personal life?
Personally, I am very proud to have raised two great sons who share my passion for helping others. Professionally, I am grateful to know that I have been able to help thousands of patients over the course of 38 years!
