Why NorthStar Medicine

I am a Primary Care Sports Medicine Physician – passionate about health prevention and fitness. Since my diagnosis of prediabetes in 2011- I have sought to keep my health and prevent any new illnesses. I found that instead of medications to control my disease – that I can control it through lifestyle changes. My journey back to health is a personal one for me. Now I’m committed to give back what I learned back to you. My main focus will be to work with you in your journey to health so that you can enjoy life. Check out my full bio.

Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
