About
After attending both undergraduate and graduate school in the mountains of North Carolina the practice of medicine began to become attractive to me as it combines my love of science, helping people and being part of a team. I continued my studies attending medical school at Campbell University followed by my residency in Baltimore, Maryland. I enjoy knowing my patients, not only from a treatment perspective but also learning what drives and motivates them. I first came to Idaho as part of a road trip with my wife in 2008, we clearly fell in love with the area and are so happy to now call Boise home! I am looking forward to watching my children grow in this community. When away from the office I can be found on a trail, cooking or playing guitar.
Note: Although this provider practices at multiple locations, deliveries are performed only at our Boise hospital, allowing patients to benefit from dedicated maternity resources and specialized care.
