Meet Our Physicians

 After 26 years of caring for Eastside families, I began to feel like the system was getting in the way of the medicine. Insurance constraints meant shorter appointments, more paperwork, and less time for the conversations that actually matter. I found myself rushing through visits with patients I'd known for decades — and that didn't sit right with me.

So I built something different.

Cedar and Stone Medical exists because you deserve a doctor who knows your name, remembers your story, and has time to actually listen. Whether you're a busy parent juggling kids' checkups and your own health, an adult who's tired of waiting weeks for a 10-minute appointment, or someone navigating healthcare without the safety net of insurance — this practice was built for you.

Here, you're not a chart. You're family.

I can't wait to meet you.

I believe exceptional healthcare begins with science, evidence, and a genuine understanding of the person sitting in front of me. If you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information about menopause, hormones,

weight, or wellness, you're not alone. My goal is to help you make sense of it all, understand what the evidence truly shows, and find an approach that fits your goals, and your life. As a board-certified primary care physician with more than 30 years of experience, I bring a comprehensive medical perspective that goes beyond hormones alone. Many concerns that arise during midlife are closely connected to broader aspects of health, including metabolism, cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, diabetes, sleep, and chronic disease management. Looking at these connections allows us to develop a plan that is both effective and appropriate for your individual needs.

I'm not here to tell you what the latest trend says you should do. I'm here to help you understand your options, separate facts from misinformation, and make the decisions that are right for you. Together, we'll look at your health, using science, experience, and a personalized approach to help you feel your best and thrive for years to come.
