In my previous role I did in home medical evaluations with Medicare and Medicaid patients, a majority of whom were underserved and had very complex medical histories. This allowed be to hone my skills in conducting thorough medical evaluations and providing compassionate care. Through this work, I’ve gained a profound understanding of obesity as a complex disease that requires a nuanced approach. I am committed to helping patients recognize that struggling with weight loss is not a reflection of personal failure but often a sign that additional support and medical intervention are needed. I look to offer a comprehensive, medically-guided approach to weight management, ensuring that each patient receives the personalized care and resources necessary to achieve their health goals. My goal is to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to overcome barriers to weight loss and improve their overall well-being.
