Special Interests
My clinical area of interest is in adult asthma, specifically adult onset and difficult to treat asthma. I hope to continue contributing to the science of airway inflammation in asthma via clincial and translational research. In our labs, we are working to characterize the phenotypes and endotypes of asthmatics, with the ultimate goal of tailored therapy for each patient with asthma.

Patient Ratings
The Patient metric-rating score is an average of all responses to
care provider related questions on our independent metric-rating
system, the Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. This survey is
about the patient care experience and does not address crucial
characteristics like medical decision-making, prescribing the best
therapy, and patient outcomes.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best
score.
