Summary

• I have been board-certified in emergency medicine since 2001. I have worked in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and now in the beautiful state of North Carolina. I am employed by one of the few remaining private democratic groups in the region, possibly in the country. I am at a regional medical center that serves 5 counties and maintains a high acuity level with both cardiac and stroke center certifications. Shifts are never boring but the team I work with is amazing.
  
  I opened a Functional & Integrative Medicine practice in 2013 that I now do part-time and hope to grow further into as I move forward with my career. It is a micro-practice with an employee count of "1". It has been one of the best growth experiences in medicine for me and I have witnessed some of the greatest transformations in health than I ever have in over 2 decades of emergency medicine practice. I have been able to put that education in physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, and microbiology to good use. Every patient and every day is a new & enriching experience.
  
  Addressing root causes and utilizing dietary and lifestyle modifications as the primary means of treatment, reserving pharmaceutical options for when they are most needed or appropriate but always with a plan of reducing or eliminating them when possible. In Emergency Medicine, I address acute conditions and can deliver life-saving treatments. In Functional Medicine, I address chronic symptoms & conditions and can deliver life-altering recommendations.
