Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. As your physician, I'm committed to delivering personalized care that aligns with your unique needs, values and goals. My practice is built on listening – I believe in creating a judgment-free environment where open communication forms the foundation of our partnership. Whether you’re dealing with multiple chronic conditions or simply want to stay healthy as you age, I'll work with you to create a healthcare plan that can fit your life.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I keep my patient panel intentionally small, which means visits that can last as long as needed and a focus on prevention in addition to discussing illness. I'm also fellowship-trained in primary care sports medicine, offering non-operative orthopedic care for active patients who want to keep moving.
As a physician in private practice, I collaborate with Upstate South Carolina hospital systems to advocate for your care. My primary care practice serves patients throughout the Upstate and greater Greenville, S.C., area, including Spartanburg, Greer, Mauldin, Five Forks, Piedmont and Anderson.
My wife and I are proud South Carolina natives and Clemson graduates who love calling the Upstate home. When we're not working, you’ll find us exploring the state's beautiful lakes and beaches with our dog, Ellie, or spending time with family and friends.
