As a physician with Cherokee Lung and Sleep Specialists, I look forward to providing excellent pulmonary and critical care services that will help the members of this community breathe and live better. Trained at Duke University, University of South Carolina, and The University of Maryland, I am experienced in the management, treatment, and cure of a wide variety of pulmonary disorders and life threatening critical illness. My background includes research both at the basic science and patient care level in the areas of asthma, copd, and pulmonary fibrosis which have culminated in publications and presentations at international conferences. Most importantly, however, is the connection between a physician and a patient. I integrate my patient’s pulmonary issues with the rest of their medical history and take the time necessary to answer all of your questions and address your concerns. This approach is combined with an emphasis on compassion, ethics, and professionalism in both clinical and business practices that insures you the highest quality of medical care. |
