Biography: As a young student, I always enjoyed science. But it was the prolonged illness of one of my best friends during college that led me to choose medicine as my career. \n I have learned that the best advice can be given only after careful listening. That's why I am passionate about taking the time to really listen to my patients so I can help empower them to make the best decisions for their health. \n Over the years, I have listened to women who are frustrated that they can't successfully lose weight and keep it off. Many have tried a variety of diets and supplements that aren't always effective. I became a diplomate in obesity medicine - a distinction awarded by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) - to provide the best, safest and most effective care for these patients. \n Medicine is always changing, and I make it a priority to keep up to date on the latest treatment options available. My philosophy also includes using natural healing to complement medical treatments. As a result, I have earned several advance certifications, including North American Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner and a hypnobirthing certified practitioner. \n My hypnobirthing training helps my patients who want a natural birth experience to be more comfortable during labor. \n I'm also a certified (by the North American Menopause Society) menopause practitioner and am passionate about providing excellent care during and after menopause - and that includes prescribing bioidentical FDA-approved hormones. \n My wife and I have lived in Charlotte for about 15 years. We met during training at Duke University Medical Center. We have three children and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible. I enjoy being outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking on nature trails. I also enjoy baking with my kids. As a Formula One racing fan, I love cheering for Max Verstappen and the Red Bull racing team.

Biography: Becoming a physician has been a very natural path for me. As a child, I preferred to admit all of my stuffed animals into my personal hospital with various ailments. My parents would come by to observe and correct their wristbands from "Numonya" to "Pneumonia" and "A Pendasidus" to "Appendicitis." \n I'd have done anything to get to be a hospital patient. I put paper clips on my teeth to mimic braces and tried to make an arm cast out of papier mache in middle-school art class. I desperately wanted appendicitis because I had heard somewhere that post operatively you got all the ice cream you could eat for weeks. Plus, I'd get to see the Operating Room... and so my fascination with medicine began. \n Both my parents were postdoctoral fellows in chemistry, so biochemistry seemed a natural choice for my undergraduate studies. Afterward, I began medical school in my hometown of Cincinnati. That's when I fell in love with the practice of caring for women. \n I completed my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Living in Nashville introduced me to country music and to my amazing spouse, Lewis, who was a fellow resident in internal medicine. I joke that our meeting was a very dialed down version of the popular series, Grey's Anatomy. \n After marrying in Alabama, we moved to Washington, D.C., where I taught medical students and residents at The George Washington University Medical Center. We had our first child there before moving back to the South to raise our family, which includes a son and two daughters. \n Having practiced as an OB/GYN for over 20 years, I've learned a great deal about providing personalized care. I think it starts with being an excellent listener. Women have tremendous knowledge and intuition about our bodies. That is a key concept I incorporate into my practice and instill in young professionals preparing for a career in medicine. \n Over the years, I've been a teacher and mentor and have enjoyed volunteering in the indigent care setting as well as practicing medicine. The field of medicine is always advancing. I continue to challenge myself to learn and grow with the latest practice advisories and new surgical techniques. It is an honor and a privilege to work in healthcare and a blessing to take care of others.
