I am a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) with a clinical focus on metabolic health and pre-surgical optimization (prehabilitation). My partner in the practice, Angela Barone, and I offer hormone therapy and pre-surgery optimization services tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, recognizing that every person’s health journey is unique and nuanced. I am passionate about equity in healthcare and work to create an environment where patients can feel safe, empowered, and supported in every aspect of their health journey. While I specialize in treating conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and neurologic disease, I am trained to provide a holistic approach to health that is tailored to each patient’s needs (ie: non-opioid pain management, sleep optimization, physical activity, nutrition). Through my work with PM&R and obesity medicine, I have extensive experience in working with patients to improve their health while managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma/PTSD that are negatively affecting their physical health and recovery.

I am deeply committed to providing an inclusive and affirming healthcare experience for all, particularly for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I understand that navigating healthcare as a member of this community can sometimes feel uncomfortable, and my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where every patient feels heard, respected, and valued. As I recognize some may feel more comfortable with non-cis male providers, Angela Barone and I work very collaboratively together, where I offer my insights to her patients and vice versa. This affords our patients the opportunity to work with either of us and still utilize our full breadth of expertise for their preference and comfort.
