Meet The Doctor

What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?

I see people at some of their most vulnerable points. They don't know what to expect and often have misconceptions from something they've read or heard. I want to make sure they understand what's going on and what's coming. I want to get them the best outcome possible, hopefully getting them through their cancer or other less-serious problems and returning them to their normal life.

What is the most important factor in a doctor patient relationship and why?

Honesty and trust. I never intend to take advantage of a patient. Even if someone wants to take advantage of me I will still do my best to help out however I can.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy when you're not working?

I enjoy cooking, exercise, reading, church activities and mission trips, working in the shop, playing guitar, hunting, and fishing.

What about your line of work do you find the most rewarding and why?

I find it most rewarding to produce good outcomes for my patients.
