      From the Doctor

      I have two children, a 22-month-old and a 4-year-old, and appreciate the support of my husband, an engineer at Vistakon. Raising my children is my main focus, and when I am not working with patients I enjoy spending time with my children and family.

      I have lived in Jacksonville for seven years and enjoy the warmth of the weather and the people of this community.
