Get to Know the Provider
How do you approach care?
I know that it is easy for a patient to feel like they are being pushed in multiple directions when it comes to their healthcare. I like to collaborate with patients. I like to listen to patients and understand their needs and concerns specific to their situation.
What inspired you to pursue a career in healthcare and your specialty?
I started my professional life as a musician. My grandmother became ill, and my mother needed help caring for her. I put music to the side and cared for my grandmother full time. This ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare.
Why did you choose to join Sturdy Health?
I really didn't have any experience with this part of Massachusetts until I bought a home close to Attleboro. Having spent a lot of time in the Boston area hospitals, I was grateful to have the opportunity to find such a wonderful medical institution close to home. I am happy to have the opportunity to be a part of medicine in my community, and to care for patients in my community.
What are your personal interests?
I love all types of music, seeing performances when possible. I also like going to the movies. My wife and I have a young son. My wife is from England, so we try to spend as much time there as possible with her family.
