Board-certified Internal Medicine physician with 15+ years of experience — currently practicing outpatient primary care at Optima Medical in Gilbert, Arizona, with a clinical niche in the cardiometabolic triad: Diabetes, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia — the most prevalent and most litigated chronic conditions in adult primary care.
