Professional Background

I am a board certified Addiction Medicine and Family Medicine physician passionate about providing and advocating for evidence-based, equitable, compassionate, and nonjudgmental medical care for those who use substances.

I am currently an assistant professor in the family medicine and addiction psychiatry departments at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and University of Kansas Health System. I provide outpatient primary care and addiction treatment services to patients with substance use disorders. I cover an inpatient opioid use disorder consult service focusing on managing opioid withdrawal and starting medications for opioid use disorder. I also deliver addiction specialty care in the addiction psychiatry clinic. Lastly, I teach addiction psychiatry fellows, residents, and medical students in clinical and lecture settings.

I completed an addiction medicine fellowship at Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx. Our patient population was marginalized, publicly insured, and uninsured individuals. During this training, I led an inpatient addiction consult service consisting of residents, medical students, and a peer recovery specialist. We gave recommendations for hospitalists caring for patients with complex use disorders. This commonly involved withdrawal management, starting medications for substance use disorders, linkage to outpatient addiction care, and harm reduction counseling/supplies. In the outpatient setting, I cared for patients at low barrier bridge clinics and opioid treatment programs (also known as methadone clinics or OTPs). At the OTPs, I regularly managed methadone and provided general outpatient care in this OTP-primary care hybrid setting. I was also privileged to practice in one of two overdose prevention centers in the US. Here, patients are provided harm reduction and substance use services in a setting they can more safely use their own substances, being monitored for signs of overdose. Services included but weren’t limited to HCV treatment and office-based buprenorphine. I also served an educational role, giving lectures related to substance use to medical students and residents.

I am a board certified family medicine physician who completed training at Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, PA. During residency, I provided comprehensive primary- including prenatal and pediatric- care to an underserved predominantly publicly insured population. I gained experience caring for my own patient panels in both urban and rural primary care clinics. I further participated in Lancaster’s street medicine program.
