Personal

What got me interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare field:

My hero has always been my father who was a practicing physician in Kansas City.  His only advice was that I needed to find something that when I looked in the mirror in the morning, I was glad to be going to work.  I have found it and love being a doctor.

Core beliefs about practicing medicine:

I have an excellent team that views it as an honor to help a family or individual during an illness. I love helping to guide a patient to a healing outcome.  Being a father of six puts me in a unique position to help families with all their medical needs.  I believe that wholeness and wellness is a way of life and many choices we make about exercise and food can make a difference.  I’m a firm believer that patients can live healthier lives through wellness choices.  I love partnering with my patients to help them set goals and achieve them through education and medication, when necessary.  I try hard to see my patients urgently and usually have some same-day appointments available.  It is all about relationships.  After practicing medicine for 20 years it just gets more fun as you share life with your patients.

My interests/hobbies:

I enjoy traveling and have formed friendships with people from India, China, Russia and Africa which is very rewarding.

Family:

I have been married to the girl of my dreams for 25 years.  We have six children ages 12 to 25.  We share our home with three dogs, four cats and a couple of horses.

My Favorite Personal Quote:

“Men treat, but God heals”  and “You are what you eat.”
