Meet The Doctor

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

I strive to practice medicine in a way that provides quality and comprehensive medical care to patients and their families.

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

I believe that trust in the doctor patient relationship is most important. Trust enhances communication between the doctor and patient. Trust and communication between the patient and doctor will hopefully lead to better health outcomes for patients and their families.

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

Fly fishing for trout in Arkansas, East Tennessee and North Carolina. I enjoy backyard gardening and attending my granddaughter’s sporting and school events. I also enjoy watching the Tennessee Volunteers games.

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

Diagnosing patients' medical problems and hoping to prevent future medical problems through these diagnoses is most rewarding. You can go home each day and hope you have made a positive difference in someone's life.
