About me
I reside in Lithonia with my wife and two children. I also am a former collegiate track and field record-holder, and I am an avid golfer and fisherman.My wife and I have recently completed a children's book on childhood obesity, "The Tale of Two Athletes: The Story of Jumper and the Thumper." We have developed a multi-disciplinary approach that incorporates mental health, nutrition and exercise to tackle childhood obesity through an inspirational children's story.
About my practice
I owned and operated my own practice for nearly 20 years prior to joining Kaiser Permanente. I am still a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry for Morehouse School of Medicine, and I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I began working for Kaiser Permanente in March 2012, and I now practice child, adolescent and adult psychiatry in Kaiser Permanente's Behavioral Health Department.
How I thrive
I try to live life to its full potential each day. I believe that keeping a positive mental attitude brings balance to your life. Kaiser Permanente believes in health and wellness through keeping a healthy mind, body and spirit. It is a pleasure to be part of an organization that truly wants its members to thrive!

Before receiving care at a facility, select that location in our directory and verify the accepted plan types under "About this facility" to make sure it is available in your plan. If no plan types are listed, the facility is available for all plan types.
Medicare Members: To request a hard copy of Kaiser Permanente’s provider directory, please call our Member Services department at 1-800-232-4404, seven days a week, 8 a.m to 8 p.m. Kaiser Permanente will mail a hard copy of the provider directory to you within three (3) business days of your request.

If you request it, your request for hard copies of the provider directory remains until you leave Kaiser Permanente or request that hard copies be discontinued.
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select providers and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
Kaiser Permanente uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business.
