About

Bio

I am a certified physician assistant (PA-C), not a physician (MD/DO), but am often referred to as "doctor," and see family medicine, HIV/hepatitis, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender patients in a Milwaukee central city community health center.

Specialties
Doctors may have more than one area of specialty interest. Board certification in a specialty area means the doctor has completed formal training and has practice experience in that specialty, and has passed the certification examination from the corresponding accredited medical specialty board.
