THE PATIENT DOC

My Story

Who is “The Patient Doc”?

I am a Family Physician living with Lupus since 2010. Currently, I practice telemedicine. I reside in sunny Florida with my loving husband, energetic soon-to-be toddler, and quirky Quaker parrot.

I enjoy reading mystery novels and writing, especially poetry. I love music, and enjoy singing, even if its just in the shower or with the radio in my car. Travel is one of my favorite hobbies, and I am grateful the opportunities I have had to learn about new cultures while visiting some amazing places. I also consider myself a bit of a foodie and occasionally enjoy indulging in new and exotic foods.

God and my family are the most important part of my life, and have been my strength in this complicated journey. I am thankful everyday to be alive and to be able to share my life and story with others.
