I have practiced Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine for many years at Good Samaritan Hospital where I am Director of Pulmonary Medicine. Patient care has always been my passion. I think good patient communication is the key to managing complex chronic disease. I see patients in my Western Hills office five half days per week and follow them as inpatients when necessary. I enjoy teaching residents and students. I formerly was President of Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, President of Hospice of Cincinnati and am currently Vice President of Bayley Retirement Communities Board of Trustees.
