I am board-certified in internal medicine and holistic and integrative medicine from Wayne State University. I was an associate teaching clinician with Michigan State University and Wayne State University, and have 21 years of practice and teaching experience as well as extensive training in functional medicine from the Institute of Functional Medicine. I am also a lifetime member of the American Lipid Association. I completed my residency in internal medicine from Wayne State University and was a chief resident at Detroit Receiving Hospital in Michigan. My current and active interest is in peptide therapy for the resolution of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

My Approach to Care
I was drawn to Functional Medicine because it brings both logic and science to medicine in a way that truly makes sense to me. My approach starts with stepping back and asking what a symptom is really telling us, rather than simply treating it in isolation. More often than not, I find that addressing foundational factors like stress and nutrition instead of jumping straight to complex treatments can simplify the path forward and create more sustainable, lasting results.
Ask me about
Peptide therapy and simplifying anything in medicine.
Most likely to find me
