I have been the Medical Director of the Central Laboratory at Allina Health Labs since 2012.

I am also medical director for Allina Health Coon Rapids Clinic Lab and for the laboratories of three clinics of The Urgency Room. I enjoy working closely with the staff to continuously improve our laboratory services.
