From the Doctor:
I believe it is important to spend time with my patients and gain a clear understanding of their goals. Everyone’s health goals are different and I customize each patient’s treatment. I enjoy staying up-to-date on new technologies so that I can offer my patients the latest treatment options.
I moved to Jacksonville in 2006. In my spare time I enjoy staying active, spending time with my family, reading and cooking.
