From the Doctor:
As an internist and a pediatrician, I enjoy providing preventive care to entire families and enjoy watching children as they grow into healthy happy adults.
I encourage my patients to try lifestyle changes before resorting to prescription medications. In this way, I hope to partner with them in their care and empower them to lead healthier lifestyles.
We moved back to Jacksonville to raise our family because my husband, a Podiatrist, is a Jacksonville native. We have two young sons, whom I love spending time with when I am not at the office. We enjoy the outdoor activities Jacksonville has to offer, including hiking, biking and gardening. We also like taking trips to the zoo, the beach and various local festivals.
