"Dr. Dave grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. He attended Virginia Tech where he graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Biology. He attended Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the national honor medical society. He completed a family medicine residency program at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, NC and went on to complete a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the same institution. During the fellowship he was a team physician for several high schools and colleges.
The most significant accomplishment of his medical school career was meeting and becoming engaged to Dr. Anne Stewart. They attended residency together in Greensboro where their love of working together grew stronger. During residency their children Abigail and Baker were born. Six years later Ben joined the family with much fanfare. Dr. Anne, Abby, Baker, and Ben are the lights of Dr. Dave’s life.
Dr. Dave’s journey to holistic medicine included professional experiences and personal ones as well. The early days of his career were spent practicing as a traditional family physician. In his busy days of 7-minute visits there were, regrettably, many prescriptions written for statins, antibiotics, and the like. However, he realized that very few of his patients were actually getting well. They seemed to continue to acquire medications and ailments that led to more medications."
