Why/How did you turn to internal medicine as a focus area?

After 14 years in general practice, the desire for a new challenge led to a focus on Internal Medicine—a field that combines a deep understanding of physiology with the kind of analytical thinking that comes naturally and is deeply rewarding.

What procedures/techniques do you bring to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital Hillsborough?

I bring advanced capabilities, including endoscopy of the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts, bone marrow biopsy and aspirate procedures, as well as feeding tube placement to support comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care.

Personal Background & Fun Facts

Outside of work, I enjoy an active and family-centered lifestyle that includes hiking with my two German Shorthaired Pointers—Atticus, who’s 9, and Esme, just 6 months old. I’ve always loved GSPs for their high energy, quirky personalities, and gentle nature. When I’m not outdoors, I spend time paddleboarding, reading (both solo and aloud with my three sons), and relaxing with family. My ideal vacation spot is Costa Rica, where the natural beauty and wildlife offer the perfect escape. For downtime entertainment, I’m drawn to British police procedurals like Sherlock and Happy Valley.
