From the Doctor:
I was born and raised in Jacksonville, a true native of this area. My husband is my high school sweetheart, and we enjoy going to the beach with our three kids. In addition to being a football fan (Go Gators!), I also enjoy cooking, doing yoga, and listening to Jimmy Buffet music.
My office schedule varies, but whenever my patients need me, I make myself available. Our office is set up so that each of our patients has access to the care they need, whenever they need it.
Outside of the office, I am involved with the Children's Ministry, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and I serve on the PTA Board.
