If I wasn't a medical professional I would be... a professional chef! Making food and experiencing that food with family and friends is one of my most favorite things!!
When I'm not working you can find me... at Highmark Stadium cheering on our Buffalo Bills! If it's not a Sunday in Orchard Park you can find me reading a book and drinking a nice cold Diet Coke!
One thing I can't live without... I have 3 things - My 2 dogs, Sonny Lou and Koda and the third thing... Sour Patch Kids!!
What does treating people well mean to you... To me, treating people well means that they feel a little bit brighter after leaving your presence. It's listening to their concerns, their ambitions, their dark moments and their best moments - all the things that matter most to them. Making people feel seen and understood. I hope at Amherst Pediatrics I can offer that to my patients and their families. I hope that when they leave a visit with me they feel that they weren't just another patient on my schedule - but they meant something to me personally and I will do whatever I can to make them feel heard
Work doesn't feel like work when you love what you do - especially with tiny humans!!
Go bills!!
