What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?

They can expect honesty, compassion, and the utmost effort to provide the most optimal and individualized treatment plan available.

What is the most important factor in a doctor patient relationship and why?

Trust is the most important factor in a doctor-patient relationship. My patients put their lives in my hands to a large degree, and it is of the utmost importance that they know I will always be honest with them.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy when you're not working?

I enjoy jogging, reading, grilling, Ole Miss sports, music, and spending time with my wife and two boys.

What about your line of work do you find the most rewarding?

The most rewarding part of my work is the relationships I get to build with my patients over the years.
