Medical/Research Interests: Physician wellness, subarachnoid  hemorrhage detection

Personal Interests: Working out, painting, traveling, reading (anything but medicine!)

About the Residency: The residency is fantastic.  It exposes our residents to a wide range of practice settings and patient populations.  We definitely produce well-rounded ED physicians.

About Buffalo: I'm from California and thus am an expert on this topic.  I love the four seasons.  I love the fact that the cost of living is low.  The people are great - if you turn on your blinker, the person next to you will let you over.  It is different than California, but that isn't a bad thing.
