Philosophy of Care
"I have practiced primary care for over 40 years, committed to compassionate, evidence-based, patient-centered care shaped by a family legacy in healthcare. I am also a proud veteran of Desert Storm/Desert Shield, having served four years on active duty as an attending physician at Womack Army Hospital. I believe it is a true privilege when patients place their trust in me, especially during their most vulnerable moments, and my philosophy of care begins with making an increasingly complex healthcare system approachable for every patient. I strive to listen carefully, build enduring relationships, honor each person's dignity, and provide thoughtful, up-to-date care grounded in the best available medical evidence."
