I chose to become a physician to combine my passion for science with a commitment to improving lives through compassionate, evidence-based care. My approach is patient-centered, focusing on listening, clear communication, and partnering with individuals to achieve their best possible health outcomes. I am proud to serve the community of Lumberton, NC and am dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible care that meets the needs of our diverse population. My clinical special interests include minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, metabolic and weight loss surgery, hernia and abdominal wall reconstruction, foregut and colorectal surgery. Outside of work, I spend time with my family. I enjoy playing soccer, volleyball, pickleball, golf, water sports and breeding dogs.
