Bio
Born in Louisville KY, I returned here to begin a family practice ultimately becoming an employee of Baptist Medical Associates whose philosophy of medical care most close to my own. I am married and the mother of two grown women. My medical interests include preventive care, technology in medicine, and women's health. I am particularly interested in social media and its use in the advancement of better patient care.
