From the Doctor:
The greatest reward to practicing medicine is the time that I spend with my patients and having the opportunity to make a positive impact on their health and therefore their life.
I enjoy getting to know each person as an individual and I take pride in the fact that I have such a personal relationship with the people that I have the privilege to care for. It is extremely gratifying to make a difference whether it be by saving the life of a heart attack victim or by slowly helping a patient to manage their blood pressure so that they feel better when they awake each morning.
A graduate of Fletcher High School and the University of Florida, I am a native of Florida and the Jacksonville area. This is my home and the people here are my friends and family, not just my patients and colleagues.
