He enjoys visiting his children and grandchildren, taking long walks, playing the piano, writing stories, and reading good books, and eating chocolate chip cookies. He is very grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of southeastern Idaho who need help in diagnosing and treating various rheumatologic diseases. He is also very grateful for the wonderful staff of the Idaho Falls Arthritis Clinic (Affiliate of Mt View Hospital) and the opportunity to work with such a fine group of health care workers. He hopes that those who come to the clinic will have an enriching experience and will find that the clinic makes a difference for the better in their lives. Thank you to all those who have been and those yet to become patients of this Clinic.
