About Me

My career as an urologist has been both challenging and rewarding, and I consider it a privilege to be a physician. I have been in practice since 1996 and love the idea of being able to help others. I am a native of Thomasville, Ga. My career path was greatly influenced by my uncle, who was a pathologist in Atlanta for 35 years. In school, I loved math and science, but always enjoyed being around people. Medicine has been the perfect match for me. I am proud to have served in the military as a physician, and my medical education was funded by the U. S. Air Force.

About my practice

I enjoy an excellent practice association with our team of urologists, nurse practitioners and team of nurses. We have a team approach, with the goal of delivering efficient, high-quality care to our members. My own practice style is best described as scientific and objective. I am most interested in medical practices that have been proven to benefit patients. I am less interested in alternative medicine, and I am more inclined to recommend therapies that have undergone rigorous scientific review. I enjoy all aspects of urology, including oncology, stones, incontinence, infertility, and prostate diseases.

In addition to my clinical role I also have an administrative role as well; I work with Kaiser Permanente leadership trying to increase patient access to care and improve the patient care experience.

How I thrive

I like trying to be physically fit. Exercise sharpens the mind, relieves stress and makes me better at my job. In the past ten years I have become a lap swimmer at the gym; swimming is a great combination of cardiac fitness and muscle strengthening. I also love to play golf. All the men in my family play golf (father, brother, uncles, cousins, etc.). I also go on golf trips with my friends at Kaiser Permanente.
