About

Welcome

I am a physician, a family medicine specialist with a focus on total health, diversity, and Washington, DC.

In 2007, I decided to relocate to our nation’s capital, from Seattle, Washington, to further my interests while continuing to live in the future. I believe in open leadership, sharing, and freedom from conflict of interest.

Recipe: Beef Meatballs - Grass Fed, Grass Finished

Just Read: Understanding Global Methane Emissions as a Family Physician without Diabetes (and hoping to keep it that way)

“Methane” is said to me as a statement a lot. When I probe if there’s more information behind the statement, I don’t hear very much.
