Career:

Diabetes runs in my family. My father had Type 1 Diabetes and I have Diabetes too. So I knew early on that I wanted to work in a field in which I could help people living with chronic illness. I specialize in the treatment of diabetes, endocrine and metabolic disorders, as well as in helping patients overcome overweight and obesity. I find it tremendously rewarding to be able to help individuals do the best they can while living with chronic disease. I enjoy getting to know my patients and working with them to achieve their health goals.

Why Edmond:

When I decided to open Draelos Metabolic Center, I knew that it would be located in Edmond. We love living and now working in Edmond too. It is a nice, family-oriented community with wonderful schools and a great business environment. Edmond has been a perfect fit for our family and for my practice.
