Currently an internal medicine consultant for the last 5 years and thoroughly enjoy helping colleagues. I provide colleagues seeking medical consultation evidence based medical advice whenever possible. The accuracy and completeness of any recommendations will correspond to best medical practices. I provide gold standard avenues of medical care (treatment, diagnostics, and follow up) but also provide empathy and guidance for alternative options for those patients/owners in whom gold standard diagnostics or care are not viable options. I am patient, friendly, kind, respectful and collegial to fellow veterinarians that have sought out consultation.
