I decided to specialize in internal medicine because internal medicine allows and demands long-term relationships with patients that I find both rewarding and challenging.

I grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. After completing an undergraduate degree in engineering, I received my medical school training and residency at Vanderbilt Medical School in Nashville, Tennessee.

I have been practicing medicine as a board-certified internist in Raleigh since 1979. I enjoy seeing a variety of illnesses and try to emphasize disease prevention.

I am a member of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church. I enjoy sailboat racing, playing the piano, singing in the church choir, and visiting the NC Museum of Art.

Many may not realize that I also have two dogs who are agility champions!

BLUE RIDGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT: The City of Raleigh began a construction project in June to widen Blue Ridge Road. Most of the erosion control and tree protection is now in place, and clearing crews are working on tree and brush removal. During this work, there may be lane closures and traffic delays. Please allow yourself extra time to ensure you are on time for your appointment! All construction updates can be accessed via "Blue Ridge Road Widening Project."
