Idea of Care

I approach every patient with the same respect and patience I would give my own family. I strongly believe in evidence-based medicine over personal or general social bias to help curate the most accurate, up-to-date and appropriate medical care I can offer. 

“That’s how it’s always been done” is a dangerous thought process in medicine and prevents real change in areas where research has shown differently. I will always provide my best medical opinion on any issue, but I believe all treatment options should be provided in detail so the patient can make their own decision. Any and all questions about diagnoses, treatments and tests are welcomed unconditionally.

Personal Interests

Trevor grew up in Sioux Falls, SD. Returning to his hometown after ten years away has been a welcoming experience. His favorite activity is spending time with his fiancée, Katie. They love spending time together outdoors, relaxing and finding peace in nature. Trevor also plays the guitar and occasionally sings. He is an avid college football fan, specifically of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and has coached high school football for many years. He enjoys working with players of the sport that greatly impacted his life.
