USF Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

I'm currently working as an Assistant Professor in the University of South Florida Physician Assistant Program. On Fridays, I continue to provide care to patients that require same day (acute care) appointments for USF Family Medicine.

Having grown up in Tampa, I am deeply committed to serving our community with expertise and compassion. Inspired by my faith and family, I approach each patient interaction with care. We are privileged to care for our patients; thus my interactions should reflect this honor. Our learners will emulate the care we teach, so our methods will be amplified.

I am an academic dermatologist with a passion for incorporating technology to help improve patient outcomes. Clinically, I treat a wide array of dermatologic issues ranging from acne, and rosacea to more complex skin cancers. I do my utmost to make sure all my patients feel like they can have open discussion with me about their clinical issues by actively listening.

Professionally, I am also happy to serve as the Chief Medical Information Officer for the faculy practice plan. This allows me to marry my two passions technology, and clinical medicine to improve patient outcomes for all patients seen by USF Health providers. We are at a new age where utilizing data, and medical knowledge can help clinicians recognize areas where we can improve care. One example of this is in through the early detection of cancer. In dermatology we are not just focused on continually excising skin cancers; we want to equip our patients to be actively looking whilst at home for signs of anything that could develop into cancer outside of their annual visits.

I would be honored to take care of your dermatologic needs.

A compassionate physician who is committed to educate the next generation of surgeons and to help create a collegial work environment that takes excellent care of patients and providers.
