"I undertook my residency training at the Wichita Falls Family Practice Residency Program. My training included work at the ICU and ER, high risk OB and neonatal care, and assisting during surgical and endoscopic procedures. After graduating from residency, I opened an independent practice out of Electra Memorial Hospital in Electra, Texas. In my office I welcomed a wide cross section of rural community, ranging from progressively aging population in need of management of chronic diseases to young families in need of pediatric care. Also, as this area’s livelihood revolves around ranching and oil field business, I attended to all kinds of trauma. In 2013 my family moved to Grapevine. Over the next 5 years I have worked for Paladina Health, at their Coppell clinic. At Paladina I came in contact with a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which is built around an idea of patient centered medical home. The focus is shifted from assembly-line medicine to disease prevention and management of chronic conditions in highly personalized manner."
