About
Bio
Family Physician - Caring for North Carolinians of all ages
My goals are :
To continue to provide excellent and compassionate care to my patients using current and up-to-date medical therapies, techniques, and technology
To continue to be a presence in the local community as a leader, both in the medical field (ie hospital) and in the various organizations of Southport, NC and surrounding Brunswick and New Hanover Counties.
To continue to stay active and involved in the State and National organizations of my profession
My life to this point has been centered on service to others from my beginings as a Boy Scout and then Eagle Scout, to my Service in the U.S Army, to present as a Physician - I hope to continue to do this with the help of my loving and supportive family and my business associates and contacts
