700 West Ave. S., La Crosse, WI 54601Provider's Bio
On average, we take over 23,000 breaths per day. For most, this activity is performed without second thought. However, for those with underlying lung disease, each breath can be a painstaking and anxiety-provoking task that significantly affects one's quality of life.
As a pulmonologist, my goal is to take the time to actively listen to you and derive an evidence-based plan that is specifically tailored to your needs with the goal of improving your quality of life.
In addition to pulmonary medicine, I get the opportunity to take care of those admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Being admitted to the ICU can be incredibly stressful for a patient and their family. My goal is to create open lines of communication and transparency into our care plan in order to ensure everyone feels as comfortable as possible.
