      From the Doctor

      I strive to set a positive example for my patients by showing them how to live a healthy lifestyle rather than simply sending them home with a quick cure. I want to develop close relationships with each of them so they can come to me with any health questions they may have.

      Before coming to Jacksonville, I spent 13 years practicing in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Chesapeake, Virginia.

      When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, playing golf and woodworking.
