While completing my doctoral education, I conducted both local and national research and co-authored peer-reviewed publications.

My approach involves a multidisciplinary strategy, collaborating with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.

In addition to my clinical skills, I am adept at utilizing the latest pain management technologies and staying abreast of advancements in the field through continuous education and research. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity because of your commitment to innovation and excellence in patient care, values that resonate deeply with my professional ethos.

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of joining your team and contributing to the ongoing success and reputation. I am confident that my expertise and dedication would be a valuable asset to your department. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team and am available for an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and can provide further details upon request. I look forward to the possibility of working together to advance the field of pain management.

In addition to the above, my son is currently a senior at Corvallis High School, here in Corvallis, Oregon. His first choice for college is the Actuarial Sciences program at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. It would mean everything to me and my wife to advance my interventional pain medicine career while being close to our son.

Hello! I am a physician specializing in General Preventive Medicine and Public Health and Lifestyle Medicine and am excited to work with individuals on their health goals through the evidence-based pillars of lifestyle medicine. I have spent most of my career in global health, mainly in Africa and SE Asia. In developing global guidelines and working with clinical teams to adapt and implement these health algorithms for chronic conditions in different countries and regions, I learned firsthand how important it is to talk about food, movement, treatment plans, and overall health in the context of patients’ goals and life situations. This is what I do with patients in my practice. I believe in a team approach to health care and work with patients to meet them where they are at in their own health journey and empower them to move towards where they want to be.
