I enjoy getting to know my patients. It's important to hear their stories, see their pictures and learn about the people and activities they care about. Listening to what patients are worried about, showing I care about them, and helping them feel confident can lead to better choices and make health more important to them. I'm a board-certified Family Medicine doctor and earned my medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, South Carolina. I did my residency in Family Medicine at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, South Carolina. Since 2010, I've been working with patients at Veteran Affairs Outpatient clinics in Winston-Salem, Kernersville, and Charlotte, North Carolina. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my daughter, other family members, friends, and our family dog. I also enjoy walking, shopping and reading.
