“I became very passionate about health screening and education, when my father was diagnosed with Congestive Heart failure and End stage kidney disease in 2009.  My father did not have health insurance and had missed work due to his illness. He had a stroke, and, in the ER, I was told such life altering news.  I vowed to help others in any way that I could. My focus is providing a holistic approach to health and wellness, working with my patients to focus on health promotion, prevention of disease and health education.  I am very passionate about improving patients' overall health using a variety of modalities – nutrition, supplementation and IV infusions.”
