I’m a primary care internal medicine physician in Sandy Springs. I love general primary care medicine and have a special interest in mental health, women’s health and empowering patients to live a healthy lifestyle. I value listening to patients, building relationships with them, and providing thorough, compassionate, evidence-based care. I live in Roswell with my husband and two young boys and am fluent in Spanish.
I have been vegan since early 2019 and am happy to encourage and advise patients who are vegan or who are shifting more plant-based. A plant-based diet is sustainable for our planet, promotes kindness to all living beings, and can improve your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan or just considering getting started on your plant-based journey, I’m happy to chat about food and nutrition as well as all your other healthcare needs and concerns.

I have been a practicing Internal Medicine physician since 1991. My practice has been focused on primary care of adults. Since 1996, I have been practicing with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation initially in Sunnyvale, then Mountain View, California. My plant-based journey began in the mid 1990s when I read “Diet for a new America” by John Robbins, and subsequently read many books by Dr John McDougal. In addition to taking the eCornell course through T. Colin Campbell, I became board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine in 2019. i have attended 2 of the annual Lifestyle medicine conferences, in 2019 and 2022. I have also attended the Plant Strong conference in Ashland, North Carolina in 2023, led by Rip Esselstyn.

Since February 2024, I have been the lead physician in my group’s new concierge medical practice. This membership-based practice is allowing me more time to work with patients who are interested in plant-based eating and healthy lifestyle changes. My philosophy of healthcare is preventive, collaborative, and postive.

I am passionate about disease prevention and reversal through the powerful principles of Lifestyle Medicine. I focus on helping patients make transformative, sustainable lifestyle changes that empower them to be more active, vibrant, and have fulfilling lives.

My journey began aboard the Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise, where I was deeply inspired by leading plant-based educators and practitioners. That experience forever changed how I view the connection between food, lifestyle, and disease. Rather than defaulting to medications, I begin exploring a patient’s lifestyle, because I believe true healing begins with a mindset shift and sustainable habits.

I specialize in the reversal and management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis, acid reflux, migraines, autoimmune issues, and irritable bowel syndrome. My approach addresses the six foundational pillars of health: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, mental wellness, and weight management.

With a special interest in women’s health, I’m dedicated to building meaningful relationships with my patients, listening attentively, and delivering compassionate, thorough care. Whether your goal is to improve energy, reduce inflammation, or regain control over your health, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

At the heart of our practice is a team-based Lifestyle Medicine model because we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best, healthiest life. We’re your cheerleaders, motivators, accountability partners, and biggest supporters in your journey to optimal wellness.
