I returned home to Orange County after graduation ready to serve the area in which I grew up in. I love the community and the team at Hurtt Family Health Clinic and I am excited to be here.

 

Practice Philosophy

I believe that patient care should be centered on the patient and what is the most safest and effective treatment for the patient. I also believe that both early prevention and intervention are key to ensuring that patients are the healthiest they can be. I enjoy building quality relationships with my patients – so that I can get to know them on an individual basis to tailor their care to their needs. In addition, communication is very important to me and I am always open to questions.
