Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I have dedicated my life to providing quality health care for my patients. I truly care about their well-being and want to provide them with everything they need to live a healthy life.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients can expect a full investment in providing them with the best care possible. In return, I expect an honest dialogue with my patients and for them to be collaborative partners in their care.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, as well as good friends. As an avid sports fan, I enjoy watching and attending sporting events.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I developed my love of primary care during my family medicine rotation in medical school in rural Virginia. When I saw the relationships that the primary physicians were able to develop with their patients I knew this would be my career.
