"I believe HEALING, like life, is a journey...not a destination."

My Experience

I was born and raised in Mountain Home, Arkansas where I graduated from Mountain Home High School.  I then graduated a two-year radiology technology program at Cox Medical Center in Springfield, Missouri. After that I graduated with honors as a biology major at Southwest Missouri State University and completed an additional 2 years beyond that to attain my masters degree in public health.  I then attended 4 years of medical school at Kansas City University plus an additional year as a Pathology fellow at Truman Medical Center. I then graduated from a 3 year Family Practice residency program at Tallahassee Memorial Hosptial. I am currently a board certified family practice physician licensed to practice in the state of Arkansas. 

I have done award winning research in multiple areas and have focused additional emphasis on programs promoting arthritis and preventive care. I am trained in all areas of medical care including OB and surgical procedures. I offer my patients a unique approach to medicine by bringing an extensive education, a compassionate heart and a genuine desire to make the medical experience a positive one.
