Comprehensive, unrushed primary care.

I started Balsamroot Family Medicine out of a desire to practice medicine in a way that feels more aligned with why I became a physician in the first place. Over time, I found myself increasingly frustrated by the limitations of corporate medicine: rushed appointments, fragmented care, and a system that too often leaves little room for the relationships and thoughtful conversations that make good primary care possible.

As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), my training has always emphasized looking at the whole person, understanding how different aspects of health are connected, and recognizing the importance of prevention alongside treatment. I wanted to build a practice where those principles could truly guide the way I care for patients.

My approach is unrushed, comprehensive, and patient-centered. I believe good medicine starts with listening, taking the time to understand each person's priorities, and making decisions together. I value evidence-based medicine while remaining curious and open-minded about emerging research and complementary approaches that may support health. My philosophy is simple: evidence-based without being rigid, and open-minded without abandoning scientific rigor.

I created Balsamroot to make space for a more thoughtful kind of primary care: one built on trust, continuity, prevention, and the belief that patients deserve to feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their health.
