Addressing a health concern is one of the most vulnerable and important experiences we encounter. In a medical culture that so often feels rushed and impersonal, having a relationship with a doctor you can trust can make all the difference when seeking to improve your health. This is certainly true when addressing weight-related concerns, which can be emotional and complex. I cherish the relationship with my patients, which is at the core of my philosophy as your physician.  I take the time to listen to you and to tailor my approach to your weight-related and metabolic health needs. 

​

Whether you are seeing me for weight loss or improvement of your type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or other metabolic issue, you will receive individualized attention, clear communication, and compassionate care. I am board-certified in Internal Medicine, with a subspecialty in Obesity Medicine, and I have trained and worked in world-class hospital systems. Informed by this expertise and experience, I partner with you and your primary care doctor in bettering your health.

​

As a specialist in treating weight-related disease, and a published researcher in pioneering approaches for the management of diabetes and insulin resistance, I have developed a unique program aimed at reversing and controlling your metabolic disease. My approach to weight loss also helps you gain a sense of food freedom, and to restore the sense of joy in eating.  My philosophy guides you towards the joyful optimization of your health. We work to drain both your emotional and physical hunger, and, as such, create the foundation for lasting weight loss.  Emotional hunger is an area of great interest for me, and I have developed an approach that will help you resolve this, as you are guided towards achieving your goals.
