I have joined Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire because I am passionate about Mayo Clinic values and that "the needs of the patient come first". I am a board certified plastic surgeon and have completed rigorous subspecialty training in hand surgery at University of California, Los Angeles. I am committed to education and research and have over 30 publications.
My passion is to have a broad set of skills that I utilize to treat a wide and complicated array of problems for the community of Eau Claire and Northwest Wisconsin. My focus in patient care is to empower patients with the knowledge and most up-to-date research to make the best decision for their condition and their lifestyle. I am attentive to detail, thoughtful and transparent.
I grew up in sunny Vista, California. I was a Division 1 student athlete in tennis while at University of Portland, where I graduated Maxima Cum Laude. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with running, biking, tennis, skiing and surfing.
