Summary

  • I am a Board Certified General Surgeon with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Hand Surgery.

    I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy, and was commissioned in the US Navy in 1980. I had the privilege of serving in the US Navy for over 21 years. After retiring from the US Navy as a Commander, I attended Nova Southeastern University, College of Osteopathic Medicine and received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005.

    I completed my General Surgery Residency at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital in Michigan; and completed my Sub-specialty training in Orthopedic Hand Surgery through the State University of New York at Buffalo.

    My practice focuses exclusively on the medical and surgical management of the hand and wrist, and I enjoy treating patients of all ages. I am honored to be available to provide quality care to the residents of northwest Georgia, western North Carolina, and southeastern Tennessee.
