What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?

Some of the techniques and procedures that I use in my practice include EKGs, vaccinations, urine drug screens, TB screening (PPD skin test, x-ray), x-ray for musculoskeletal problems or respiratory illnesses, urinalysis & urine culture, STD testing, rapid covid/flu/rsv testing, rapid strep testing, phlebotomy, blood sugar testing, routine annual physicals, pre-employment physicals, pelvic exams for vaginitis, minor office procedures (laceration repair, skin tag removal, ear wax removal, I&D of simple abscesses), eye exam to rule out corneal abrasion, aircast/ace bandage application, and wound care.

What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?

I am incredibly passionate about the work that I do and I truly care about my patients. I practice a patient-centered care model, in which the patient is involved in the decision-making of their care each and every step of the way. I empower my patients to advocate for their health, as well as provide education in a way that the patient can understand so they can best care for themselves.
