I trained as an Internal Medicine hospital physician, an immunologist and a medical researcher, but neither satisfied what I actually wanted to do — practice medicine in close, ongoing relationship with patients. I founded First Internal Medicine in 2008 with a specific goal: bring academic-level, science-based medicine back into a personal practice setting.

After running a successful concierge practice in south Denver for over a decade, I closed in 2019 to focus on my family. I moved to the mountains to work at Vail Health. My journey to take care of complex patients and undiagnosed diseases then took me to Metrodora Institute in Salt Lake City, UT.

I I'm reopening with the same philosophy, now expanded to include telehealth and house calls across Colorado and Utah, with a deeper focus on functional health, autoimmune diseases, and the complex cases that tend to fall through the cracks of conventional medical care.

My approach has always been the same: form an extensive differential diagnosis, evaluate systematically, and don't stop until there's an answer. Complex problems deserve more than a 15-minute visit and a referral.
