About Us

• Just as my mentors in medical school and residency have taught me about medicine, I have learned much about healing from my father. As a child I was always asked if I was going to become a preacher like him. My reply was always no. However, after watching him and learning more about the practice of medicine, I began to realize that I actually did want to follow in his footsteps. Pain Medicine, like ministry, provides a significant and critical component to a holistic approach of patient care and affords patients the steps necessary to truly being able to recover. Everything that I learned from my father about empathy and caring for other people has contributed to who I am as a person and a physician today; just as everything that I learned in my medical training has shaped who I am as a Pain Management physician.
