From the Doctor

I am a Jacksonville native who is excited to remain in the city after completing my residency training here. I am proudly married to a pediatrician in the community, and together we enjoy exploring art, movies, music, food, and travel together.

I became a physician out of a desire to connect with patients, to appreciate their goals and to help them navigate the often difficult world of medicine. My philosophy of care involves prioritizing communication and shared decision-making whenever possible to connect patients with the evidence-based treatments that best suit them.

As a native and member of this community, I chose to work in Jacksonville as a means to give back to the people of my hometown. My family and I celebrate the ability to support our fellow community members and participate in volunteering events and service organizations across the city.
