After moving to this area in 1984 to practice, I still find myself in Kingsport after all these years. I met my wife here and am still close in proximity to my hometown of Prestonsburg, Kentucky. After living in big cities such as Tampa, Louisville, Denver and Houston, I discovered that I appreciate the small town atmosphere. I also enjoy the fact that people here are very similar in temperament to people where I grew up in eastern Kentucky. We had friends who were doctors in my hometown, and I always admired and wanted to emulate them. I traveled quite a bit for my medical training, attending medical school at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, completing an internship at the University of South Florida in Tampa and a residency at the University of Texas in Houston. I have always liked dealing with patients and people, and I try to listen and develop plans that people are comfortable with. Obstetrics is a tough time for women, and physicians need to listen. Our group is composed of physicians who get along and treat our patients well. We are sympathetic and aim for a good outcome during a woman’s pregnancy. We achieve this goal by being well-versed in the latest surgical techniques, which in turn allows for shorter hospital stays. I believe Mountain States Medical Group OB/GYN – Kingsport has some of the most highly-skilled surgeons in this area, and I am happy for my wife or daughter to go to this practice. Away from the work, I relax by exercising. My knees will not allow me to run anymore, but I enjoy the treadmill and spin classes. You can also find me on the slopes in the wintertime.
