I am the owner of this fine medical practice.   I grew up in Longmont and attended Longmont High School .  After receiving a BA in Biology and Chemistry from Bethany College in Lindsborg , Kansas , I graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1986.  Family practice residency training was completed in 1989 at the USAF Medical Center Scott, Scott AFB, IL.  I practiced 4 years with the Air Force at Ramstein 316^th Air Base Clinic in Ramstein , Germany to complete the obligation for my military scholarship through medical school.  In 1993, I joined my father’s practice in Longmont Colorado and have continued to practice on my own since my father’s retirement in 1997.  

My practice philosophy:

I went into family practice because I liked the idea of being able to take care of entire families and the individuals within the family throughout their life.   I enjoy getting to know each patient and feel that influences from each individual’s family can also influence their health.  I take a personalized approach, encouraging patients to take an active roll in their health care.  I see myself as a resource for patients providing various options for their care and believe in involving the patient in these health care decisions.  I understand that patients may be interested in alternative medicine and although my practice is traditional medicine, I work with patients to coordinate their overall health care.   I feel that every person should be able to have a doctor that they call their personal physician.   I strive to make my patients feel that I am their personal physician.
