From the Doctor:
I have enjoyed living in Jacksonville, since I moved here from Michigan in 2009. My wife and our two sons share a love of the outdoors and enjoy our fun time in Florida.
My philosophy of care is to listen to my patients and incorporate their perspectives into their care, empowering them with information and education related to their health and well-being. I believe that patient’s understanding of their disease and receiving enough information including ways to prevent future infection and recurrence is critical to achieve successful treatment.
In addition, I have enjoyed giving back to community by participating talk to them and serving free clinics to help care for those who are less fortunate.
