My passion in medicine is to provide primary and preventive care for patients throughout the spectrum of life. I take a collaborative approach, in which the best medical evidence is coupled with patients’ values and preferences to achieve their best health. I really enjoy partnering with patients and families to provide evidence-based primary care to adults and children. Using the best medical information, combined with patient values and preferences, I hope to optimize well-being for everyone I'm privileged to treat. Patients who choose UNC Health will find we are always trying to improve both the care we give and the system in which we provide it, using some of the most innovative ideas in primary care. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, hiking both nation parks and state parks. Lastly, I enjoy volunteering, golfing with friends and and following both collegiate and professional sports.
