OsteoarthritisofFoot near Conover, NC

Biography: Medicine has always been a part of my life. My father, now retired, was a dentist, and my sister is a pediatrician with Novant Health. Inspired by their dedication to healthcare, I pursued a career in family medicine with the goal of treating every patient with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. As a lead clinician, I value building lasting relationships with patients and guiding them through all stages of life, from infancy to end-of-life care. \n I am passionate about making healthcare accessible and understandable. I take pride in helping patients navigate complex medical decisions by explaining diagnoses, lab results and treatment options in clear, simple terms. I encourage my patients to be active participants in their healthcare, ensuring they feel informed and empowered. \n Outside of medicine, I am a devoted husband and father of three. I enjoy playing sports with my children, traveling and cooking. I am a big fan of all things Disney. My interest in sports medicine has led me to volunteer at local high school football games, where I provide medical support to young athletes. As a Pittsburgh native, I am also a passionate fan of the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates.
