Brief Intro

I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in Great Neck. I went to college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and stayed there for most of the next 30 years until moving to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 2005. I am married, and have two children_one adult and one teenager - two adult stepchildren, and three grandsons. I have wanted to be a doctor since the age of 10 or 11. In college, I briefly considered going to graduate school and obtaining a PhD in chemistry, but I returned to my original dream of medicine. In medical school, I loved nearly everything I did, and I chose dermatology because of the variety of people and conditions it offers, and the opportunity to care for families over a long period of time. I love my team, my job, and my patients.
