"I have been practicing and teaching at Hahnemann Family Health since 1987. I enjoy the richness of the long term relationship I have with my practice partners and patients. I particularly enjoy fostering the educational environment at the health center so our residents and students get the best education possible. I have a strong clinical and educational interest in geriatrics, and while that is somewhat of a focus, I practice the breadth of family medicine with our residents: inpatient and outpatient care, maternity care and newborns, and nursing home care.

Areas of Interest: Geriatrics

"Residents of this program are deeply committed to learning to be
providers of superior care to their patients. They are attracted to
the health center by the diverse patient population and the excellent
support staff. What I value most about Lincoln Street is the full spectrum
of family care delivered topeople of various ethnic and socioeconomic
backgrounds."

Areas of Interest: Women’s Health and Obstetrics

"Teaching is my passion. It’s a very delicate art and I am continuously
humbled by the challenges of becoming an effective teacher. I believe residents are attracted to the program because of the nice balance between teaching and clinical service. Lincoln Street offers an excellent,
well-rounded experience: the entire life cycle, real broad spectrum family medicine serving a multi-aged population from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. We offer a group practice model with faculty as colleagues."

Areas of Interest: Obstetrics, Adolescent Health, Travel Medicine, and Interactions of Physicians with Pharmaceutical Companies

"Keeping my teaching current, exciting, and learner-centered is my greatest professional challenge. It is also what I love most about my job. Having been in the private practice of Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine for 10 years before coming to UMass, I feel well-equipped to teach in the Inpatient and Outpatient settings. Our residents come with diverse interests and needs and are supported by an equally diverse, intelligent, and compassionate faculty committed to resident education."

Areas of Interest: Evidence Based Medicine, Adolescent Medicine, Women's Health, Computers and Electronic technology in Medicine
