About
Family physician working in Southeast D.C. Most of my patients have diabetes, high blood pressure or both, and a schedule, a landlord or a bus route that shapes their care as much as any prescription. I precept first- and second-year students in clinic and teach a small-group ethics session on end-of-life decisions. I've interviewed applicants to the MD program since 2021, and I would rather hear one honest story about a mistake than a list of titles.
