Meet The Doctor

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

A physician who is willing to take the time to listen to your issues, and I will address them to the best of my ability.

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

Trust. I find that the more trust that a patient has in me, the more we can create a holistic approach to their health care. This will result in a stronger doctor-patient relationship and better outcomes.

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

Running, tennis and University of Mississippi sports.

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

Forming long term relationships with patients over time. I enjoy forming connections with people, but more importantly it creates a better environment in the office for the patient and me.
