From the Doctor:
I enjoy helping people get to better heath. I try to help you understand what is going on and make sure that you have a good treatment plan to get you back to doing what you enjoy. I practice with a conservative approach and believe that most conditions can be treated and that surgery is the last resort. There are many things that we can do these days to make people feel better without having to go under the knife.
Outside of the office, I serve as the head team physician at Providence School of Jacksonville.
