From the Doctor:
I decided to specialize in cardiology because of the numerous treatments available to patients that enhance their quality of life. I enjoy informing and educating patients about their treatment options. I moved here with my wife and two sons more than 20 years ago and we enjoy all that Jacksonville has to offer.
Jacksonville has a rich military tradition and being passionate about history, I am privileged to provide care for numerous veterans. Through their incredible experiences, I have learned more about history than any book could ever provide.
Outside the office, I enjoy hiking and camping especially in National Parks. I also practice yoga. My wife and I support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and have served on their Board. We have two dogs—a beautiful, brilliant Golden Retriever and a stubborn, but cute Wheaton Terrier.
