Summary

  • I am a board certified Internal Medicine physician practicing primary care for adults in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I did my medical school training at Texas Tech University before completing my residency at the University of Texas at Houston Medical center. I was honored to be selected as Chief Resident at that program and did an extra year there in that capacity. I then served four year active duty in the US Air Force as a physician, stationed at Wilford Hall Medical Center, Lackland AFB. I was deployed to the middle east during Operation Enduring Freedom.

    After completing my military service I moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to be closer to family and have been employed at Texas Health HEB hospital in Bedford as the Director of Hospitalist Services for the last 11 years. I decided to return to primary care in 2018 and was delighted to join the fantastic medical team at Texas Health Adult Medicine.

    I am excited about the opportunity to really get to know my patients and help them attain their best possible health. My practice is currently accepting patients and we accept all insurance plans.
