700 West Ave. S., La Crosse, WI 54601Provider's Bio
As a hospitalist, I am the primary physician coordinating and overseeing the care of hospitalized patients. I strive to provide high-quality care, coordinate, and communicate with other specialist physicians and healthcare professionals. I also work with a large team of professionals to help coordinate your care after discharge from the hospital. Being in the hospital can be a challenging and stressful time both for the patient and family, and I hope to do my best to provide compassionate care.
When I'm not in the hospital I enjoy traveling, photography, and spending time with family and friends.
