      Creating long-term relationships with families has been my goal for my primary care practice. I enjoy being able to see multiple family generations. These relationships provide insight into the challenges that family members have when dealing with medical issues.

I am thankful that I have been allowed the opportunity to work for Duke in my home county of Alamance. Although I love to travel, coming home to family and friends is where my heart belongs.

      "I am a board-certified family medicine physician who was born in the Caribbean, namely ""America's Paradise"" St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. I gravitated towards the field of family medicine. I discovered that I enjoyed working in the outpatient setting early in my medical career along with serving under-served populations. I fell in love with the continuity of care, providing compassion and understanding, teamwork, and communication that family medicine encompasses. I chose Duke because I wanted to be part of an academic program, and loved the patient population. In my current position, I am passionate about primary care and prevention, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, chronic disease management, providing health care to under-served populations, and performing minor office procedures. I am a member of the American Academy of Family Medicine and the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, venturing to new restaurants, going to the movies, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I am engaged to be married in August 2014.".

      I am excited to be back in North Carolina, particularly as part of Duke Primary Care, after spending the last seven years in Seattle. Growing up in rural western North Carolina, I became aware of health disparities and wanted to make an impact. Great educators and mentors guided me into medicine, and I chose family medicine as the best way to effect change in the community. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending weekends with my wife and our two kids, exploring local farmers markets and bookstores. I'm also a huge fan of UNC and Seattle sports, so feel free to chat about the latest games. His top area of expertise is Rheumatoid Vasculitis.

      What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

      A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

      What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

      The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious. 

      Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

      What is another name for a primary care physician?

      There are a few different types of primary care doctors. In addition to primary care providers, a primary care physician may also be called a general practitioner, family doctor, or internist. There are also PCPs with special training to work with specific patient populations. Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.  

      Why do people have a primary care physician?

      People have a primary care physician to help keep them healthy and to have a doctor they can go to for most of their health needs. A PCP helps with regular check-ups, treats illnesses, and can help manage long-term health problems. That’s why it’s helpful for patients to maintain long-term relationships with their PCPs if possible.    

      Why does my health insurance require me to see a primary care physician?   

      Health insurance requires patients to see a primary care physician because a PCP helps keep people healthy with preventive care, which lowers costs for the insurer. A PCP can also decide if a patient needs to see a specialist, which helps avoid unnecessary tests and treatments, keeping healthcare costs down. 

      What is the first thing a doctor does when seeing a patient?   

      The first thing a primary care doctor does when seeing a patient is to ask questions about their health and health goals. This includes asking about symptoms, past health problems, family health history, and lifestyle. This helps the doctor understand what’s going on if the patient is experiencing a problem, or what might help the patient get healthier or stay healthy. 

      When should I visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. a Doctor (MD)?  

      You can visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) for routine check-ups, minor illnesses, and help with long-term health issues. Nurse Practitioners are trained to handle many common health problems. You should see a Doctor (MD) for more serious or complicated health issues, or if you need specialized care that an NP cannot provide. Sometimes, NPs and MDs work together to take care of their patients.  

      How do I find a Primary Care Doctor near Mebane, NC?

      A Primary Care Doctor is a type of primary care provider, and is responsible for your ongoing healthcare monitoring and maintenance, and is your first line of treatment.
