"The name of the practice reflects my core belief that the best way to achieve lifelong wellness is to form a strong partnership between doctor and patient. To give you some of my background, I grew up a 3rd generation Texas physician, and have always been strongly attracted to the medical profession. My medical training includes an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M, a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch, and residency training with the Yale School of Medicine in Danbury, Connecticut, where I was chief resident.
Having been the recipient of years of training, I also believe strongly in my responsibility to mentor the next generation of health providers. Since I am an Assistant Professor for the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), you will almost always see a physician in training at my office. Not only do they get some real world experience but our practice also gains from their knowledge and enthusiasm. I have been honored to receive UTMB’s “Top Doc” Award twice in my career.
As an Internist, I am specialized around the treatment of adult disease, including chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Precision Medicine and Genomic Health is integrated into my practice. I offer a range of services including annual physical exams, suturing, ingrown toenail removal, well woman exam, mole removal, ECG, and dermabrasion. We use a state of the art Electronic Medical Records system, and maintain a patient web portal so you can always have access to your records and test results."
