My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

As a board-certified internal medicine doctor specializing in endocrinology, I bring years of experience with conditions including obesity, diabetes and thyroid disease, all of which can impact heart health. My background in academia as an associate program director for internal medicine residency and a medical school clinical associate professor instilled in me a passion for continuous growth, open communication and staying current in the ever-evolving landscape of medicine. I actively contribute to scientific progress through local and national presentations, driven by a desire to help empower patients with deeper insights into their health.

My approach emphasizes attentive listening, personalized care and a holistic view of well-being. I strive to help optimize both mental and physical health in a more practical way for my patients and their families. What truly matters to me is helping to ensure each person feels valued and  involved in their healthcare decisions—a unique experience that many of my patients find refreshing. By developing shared care plans, I collaborate with patients and partner with them  in an effort to make informed choices about their health while fostering ongoing communication within the healthcare team. I am proud of working hard to pursue patient satisfaction. 

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My dedicated team shares my commitment to personalized care and follow-up.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy sketching, painting, crocheting, playing golf and reading with my daughters.

I look forward to being your primary care physician in the Alpharetta, Georgia, area, where our focus will be centered on helping you achieve your individual health goals. I am fluent in French and Haitian Creole.
