My goal as your physician is to promote health practices that are more tailored to your individual needs. I have spent 29 years as an internal medicine physician and have learned what I believe to be the most important aspects of an ideal patient-physician partnership: Applying the latest science-based medical knowledge and treatments, taking your symptoms and problems seriously, and listening to your concerns. I am dedicated to partnering with you to help you better achieve your personal health goals, whether that involves improved nutrition, losing weight, boosting your fitness, working to minimize your medications or helping to prevent disease.

I am board certified in internal medicine and try to practice what I preach through frequent exercise. I particularly love mountain biking, hiking and swimming. I also support my patients’ psychological and spiritual health, promoting practices such as yoga, counseling and meditation, and employing pharmacological therapy as needed.

I practice at TriStar Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, TN and serve patients from all over Middle Tennessee. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Typically, appointments start on time, and I can see you the same day or next business day. I look forward to developing deeper, personalized relationships with my patients.
