Overview
I am medical director of Duke Family Medicine Center, and my interests include women’s health, quality improvement, and medical education. I am always on the lookout for new and better ways to serve and help our patients. I gain a lot of personal satisfaction from being involved with nearly every aspect of patient care. I am involved in the center’s CenteringPregnancy® prenatal care initiative. I have worked at Duke Family Medicine since I moved to the area in 2008, and I have served as medical director since 2011. I have always enjoyed teaching and believe it is a core value of our practice. When not at work, I am spending time with my spouse, who is also a physician, and my three children. Indeed, life is never boring for me.

Duke Primary Care Oxford
My path to medicine was non-traditional. Although I've always had a keen interest in science and a desire to be of service to others, I didn't become a doctor until halfway through a far-flung 25-year Navy career. Family Medicine has been a perfect fit for me, as I've had the privilege of treating a broad range of patients in a wide variety of settings. I've come to believe that the most important and powerful factor in bringing wellness into medical care is a mutually respectful and compassionate relationship between doctors and their patients. My kids are the greatest joy in my life, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. Away from work, you might find me running, cooking, reading, traveling, taking pictures with a vintage medium format camera, or watching football.
