As family practice medical director, my main responsibility is to serve our patient population. I work with administrators, health plans, St. Joseph Hospital and specialists to provide “Perfect Care” to the community. I enjoy being a family physician because I am able to be a part of my patients’ lives and make a difference for them. I am a patient advocate—my role is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based medical care, and to maximize patient involvement in the delivery of their treatment.
