Family Physician
Associate Director, Waukesha Family Practice Residency Program

"I believe in the Family Physician treating the family; this includes prenatal care, delivery, treatment of the newborn, and treatment of siblings, parents and grandparents. This is a tremendous responsiblity and privilege, and I feel that I should embark upon this with reverence and make every attempt to provide the best care I can. This requires keeping up with the latest information and compassionately applying it to the humans who seek my advice. I believe honesty and open communication is essential to the physician-patient relationship. I strive to treat each patient the way I would like my family treated; I owe them nothing less."
