As a Family Practice Physician with 25 years of experience, I take pride in caring for patients from childhood through senior years. My primary focus is on providing compassionate, comprehensive care to every family member. I am known for taking the time to listen.
I firmly believe in the bio-psycho-social model of medicine, where the whole patient is treated in context of their physical, mental and social well-being.
I took over Parker Medical Center from Dr. Marchese, a respected family physician, in 2004.
I enjoy birding, camping, hiking, nature and all my pets, from cats and cockatoos to snakes and turtles. I have a wonderful wife and a daughter who attends the University of Arizona. Many of my patients knew her when she was a baby.

I joined Parker Medical Center in 2025. I started in healthcare as a nurse working in the Neuro ICU. I wanted to do more for people, so I applied to ASU's DNP program and started my nurse practitioner (NP) career in primary care and hematology.
My favorite part of being a nurse practitioner is really connecting with people to help them achieve their goals. This allows me to easily empathize and work together with them to conquer challenges. I specialize in care for adults and seniors and enjoy listening to them so I can give them the best and most compassionate care possible.
I love animals, hiking, genealogy and genetics. I used to race bicycles, but now I'm happy just playing with my cute dogs. My favorite vacation spots are Hawaii for snorkeling with sea turtles and Europe for the amazing history.
