I am a Board Certified Family Physician with an extreme passion for patient care. I received my undergraduate degree in Nutrition from UT-Austin, attended medical school at Midwestern University and trained in Austin at UT Southwestern. Before founding DirectMed, I spent the previous several years working in various urgent care clinics. That's where I saw the need for a family practice built around more meaningful patient-doctor relationships. I am devoted to giving you, my patient, the absolute best care. I feel that the amount of time I can spend with my patients is key to understanding their needs. I became disillusioned with the old way, because insurance based healthcare severely limits patient-doctor interactions. Then I learned about the DPC model that is growing quickly throughout the U.S. I realized it was the answer that I and millions of under-served patients had been looking for. Outside the office I enjoy spending time with family.
