From the Doctor
I have lived in the North East for most of my medical career and am excited to explore the warm weather of Florida. My wife and son have joined me in my journey, and they look forward to Jacksonville’s vibrant culture. Work life balance is extremely important for me, and I try to practice it daily. My hobbies include spending time with my family, playing cricket & tennis, and am a gastronome by nature - I love trying and cooking different foods!
I received great advice early in my medical career: a disease process not only affects a person physically, but also psychologically, spiritually and socially. My philosophy of care is to be holistic, empathetic, and thorough with every patient. I will work with you throughout your medical journey and be your confidante alongside the rest of your physician team. I am fortunate to have acquired a unique skill set and my goal is to help alleviate chronic, unrelenting symptoms to help patients breathe easier and better.
Participating in raising awareness of lung cancer and its causes is very important to me since the most common cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States is lung cancer. I hope to educate the community about the importance of lung cancer screenings and encouraging those who need it to get it.
