About
Bio
I grew up in Aachen, Germany where I went to high school and medical school at RWTH Aachen. I graduated with honors and an MD degree and pursued my post-graduate training at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center from 2002 to 2008.
I worked then as a nephrologist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Martinsburg, WV from 08/2008 to 12/2012 serving the heroes of this country.
In 02/2012, I decided to start my practice in Martinsburg to be able to serve the people of the West Virginia Eastern Panhandle as well. Due to a great need, I opened a satellite office in Winchester, VA.
I am married and have twins. I spend my free time with family and friends, but am always available for my patients on my personal cell phone.
