Hello! I'm here to take great care of you. Since 2019, I've been helping people feel better at CareNow Urgent Care, where I learned a lot about treating all kinds of health problems. I really want to get to know you and what you need to stay healthy. I'll listen carefully, check your health history, and give you a full check-up. Together, we'll figure out the best way to keep you well, which might include medicine or tips for a healthier life. Need a small medical procedure? I can do things like stitch up cuts, read X-rays, treat wounds, and handle other simple treatments. If you need special exams for work or driving, I can do those too. Making sure you feel safe and cared for is super important to me. Whether we talk in person or on the phone, I want you to feel comfortable and supported. Since December 2023, I've been working at a place in Portland, OR that helps people with tough emotional experiences. There, I talk with people to understand their feelings and help them heal.
