What I like best about working at Middlesex...

Medical care in Middlesex County is built around Family Medicine. Patients as well as specialists expect that, so you are never explaining who you are or what you can do. It is a very comfortable place to learn and practice family medicine.

My favorite thing to do with residents is...

I enjoy seeing patients with residents in settings outside the office—schools, home visits, and nursing homes. We learn so much about our patients seeing them in their natural environment.

What I do for fun...

I enjoy my involvement in community groups in our town. My wife and I especially enjoy getting together with close friends and family and hanging out with our three children as much as they will let us.
