Now, with the founding of my direct primary care practice, I can focus on each patient more personally and assuredly than ever before. I am a board certified physician in family practice with 22 years of experience in private practice in the mid cities area. My experience with medicine ranges from when I was an ER doctor at Texas Health HEB hospital for 8 years, from 1987-1995. Additionally, I served as EMS director for city of Euless in 1993-1995. After graduating from family practice residency in Fort Worth I opened a solo doctor practice with the hope of practicing 20 more years !!!
