About me
I am a first generation physician from the Birmingham, Ala. metro area. Hard work and determination was instilled in me by my mother, with faith and perseverance as my foundation. After her passing, I made sure I carried her legacy along with me as a basis of how I practice medicine.
I am a graduate of Talladega College and very proud to represent the numerous physicians this college has produced. I went on to obtain my master's degree in biomedical sciences at Barry University, and subsequently my DO degree from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Long Island, N.Y. My wife and two kids are my "why," and I have enjoyed every moment of it.
About my practice
Empathy played a major role in my continued path of medicine as I vowed to make sure that I approach each individual patient with the respect and partnership of achieving the goal of education and knowledge of illnesses. During my educational track, I have found that many preventable illnesses have manifested later as much larger life-threatening issues. My foundation as an osteopathic physician has kept me grounded in not falling bait to the obvious diagnosis as there could always be a surrounding underlying cause of a patient's illness. Therefore, I treat each member with the utmost care and diligence.
How I thrive
As I progress through my medical career, I am finding that my own health is just as important, therefore, exercising and diet modifications have been a consistent mainstay in my household. Maintaining my physical and mental health is paramount in taking care of my patients. With that being said, my family and I like to vacation, which is just as important to maintaining my daily viability. It may be cliché, but I believe in, "Work hard, play harder."
