Sound Family Health
Sound Family Health was founded in April of 2009 by our four dedicated providers. Their goal was to create an environment where the patient comes first. With that goal in mind, our dedicated staff of support professionals strive to provide the best quality of care and experiences for our patients and their families.

“My practice philosophy is one of collaboration. I believe a person’s health is primarily their responsibility. I see my role as being a patient advocate and helping determine best treatment options for the variety of diseases that occur. I think collaborating with the patient is the best way to get the best healthcare and still observe the best science.”
