About

I chose Peoria because of the people! I grew up nearby in Morton, IL so I have always had a soft spot for this midwest gem. The kind, supportive and encouraging attitude is what attracted me back here for my residency training and why I chose to stay on as faculty after graduation. OSF St. Francis is an amazing place to learn internal medicine, but I believe the faculty and staff make it truly stand out from other institutions.
