It is a privilege to help people and establish long-term relationships with my patients. I believe that everyone's medical care should be individually tailored.

As an admitting hospitalist, my focus is to facilitate a smooth transition between the emergency department and the inpatient admission.
Waiting to be admitted to the hospital can be nerve wracking, emotional, and even scary. My goal is to ease your transition from waiting in the ER to being admitted, explain your condition, and answer all questions you may have. Raised and educated locally, it is my pleasure to serve this wonderful community of people who call the South Shore home. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and exploring/discovering all that the area has to offer.

I strive to educate patients about their health conditions in order to best include them as part of the treatment team.
Brendan has spent a large portion of his career practicing in Primary Care following graduation from MCPHS University in 2014. Having grown up in Massachusetts, as well as living and working in Southeastern Mass he has formed close relationships with his patients as they are frequently his neighbors, mechanics, former teachers and the like. From these relationships, he has learned the importance of community as part of a medical treatment plan, and this has now become an important aspect to the way he practices medicine. He is very excited to extend his medical career into the South Shore Health Community.
