From the Doctor:
Through early intervention, a pediatrician can promote good health throughout life. I work with parents to achieve this goal. One of my traits is that I am a good listener. I know that as a parent, you are my best resource in helping your child stay healthy. My goal is to partner with parents and their families.
I served in the US Navy as a Pediatrician. After transferring to Jacksonville on my final tour, my wife and I decided to make Jacksonville our home. Being Georgia natives, we are close to our families. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, and going to the beach.
