About Me

While not a true "Jacksonville native", I have always considered this area to be my home away from home. Recently moving to Fernandina from Tenessee, I am looking forward to enjoying the Florida Sunshine and the community that comes with living in a small coastal city.

My philosophy of care is to work with each patient holistically, taking the whole person, mind, spirit and body, into consideration. I enjoy creating holistic care plans individualized to each patient that incorporate the preventive care and lifestyle changes that will help my patients reach their specific health goals. As a family medicine physician, my main goal is to improve my patient's health and well-being so they may better enjoy their life.
