From the Doctor:
I have enjoyed living in the Jacksonville area since moving here in 2014. I am an avid runner and take advantage of the year-round good weather to participate in many local races.
My philosophy of care is to treat the whole person and not just their disease. I find it important to understand the values and goals of all of my patients. This allows me to individualize care plans and provide the best care possible.
