About me
I am originally from Atlanta but came out to attend Colorado State University and have been here ever since then. I completed medical school and my anesthesia residency at the University of Colorado and did my internal medicine internship at Saint Joseph Hospital. I was chief resident of my residency class. I have wanted to be a doctor since I was 12 years old because I get to use science to help people feel better. I chose anesthesia because it is a critical care specialty, which means I get to help people at the most vulnerable point in their lives. I was honored to be recognized as a 5280 Magazine Top Doctor in 2018.
About my practice
I realize that each patient I care for is dependent on how well I can do my job. Therefore, I work hard to maintain my education and host a monthly lecture series for my group. I also use our integrated computerized record system to learn as much about my patients as I can before we meet, so that you know that I am fully devoted to keeping you safe during your surgery. I look forward to seeing you, and you’ll find that I like to make people laugh.
How I thrive
I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we’ve been in Denver since 2001. We rescue Boxer dogs and have a lovably neurotic rescue named Velvet. We love to travel and visited all seven continents before we turned 35. I like Colorado for its summers more than its winters, and I spend all winter waiting for fly-fishing season.
