I have more than 25 years of experience and am currently practicing in Tennessee, where I guide families through everything from newborn care to early childhood development. I earned my M.D. from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and completed my pediatric residency at East Tennessee State University/Quillen College of Medicine. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP), reflecting my commitment to pediatric excellence and ongoing professional development. In addition, this year I was honored to be appointed Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Tennessee Medical Association, an opportunity I take seriously as a steward of health policy and physician advocacy. My professional philosophy cnters on compassionate, evidence-based care. I’m known for explaining conditions clearly, listening deeply, and partnering with families to create healthier, happier children.
