As someone who majored in anthropology in college, I've always found people to be fascinating. My enthusiasm for understanding people and what makes them unique led me to a career in medicine.  As your primary care doctor, my objective is to tailor a more personalized approach to better fulfill your individual health needs. 

I believe that being a good doctor means being a good listener. With my unhurried schedule, we will have more time to discuss your symptoms, your concerns and your goals. This communication over the years will help provide both of us the opportunity for a closer and more meaningful relationship. With my patients, I emphasize healthy habits as the first step to help prevent chronic conditions. If illness does occur, I will be reachable after hours and on weekends, and thanks to the comprehensive screenings that comprise the MDVIP Wellness Program, we may be able to intervene earlier, helping to minimize the consequences. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. Thus, in today's increasingly complex landscape of fragmented healthcare delivery, I wish to serve as your constant guide. 

I enjoy the challenge of diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions that the practice of internal medicine encompasses. My special interests include management of hypertension, thyroid disorders and osteoporosis. 

With many years of experience practicing in Marietta, I have developed relationships with specialists in both the Piedmont Healthcare and Wellstar Healthsystems. My practice is conveniently located near Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center and is easily accessible from multiple locations near Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Smyrna, Roswell, Woodstock and the many communities in East Cobb and West Cobb county.
