I chose to become a Physician Assistant because I wanted to positively impact the lives of others while working in an exciting, dynamic profession. I enjoy the challenge of helping patients overcome illness and injury as well as achieve their physical and mental goals. I prefer a minimalistic approach to medicine, ideally controlling disease states through healthy lifestyle choices and utilizing medications as a last resort. I strive to create a customized plan with each patient that will maximize their chances of success. I enjoy seeing a wide variety of medical problems and am happy to see patients for any reason they deem necessary. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor sports and activities and occasionally playing the piano. As my children have gotten older, I have also enjoyed participating in their extracurricular activities.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
