For over 26 years, I have had the rare opportunity to do what I love: caring for patients / families of all ages while providing the special skill that demonstrates to my patients that I truly care for them. One of my favorite expressions is: People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” After years of working in a healthcare system that rewards volume over value, I discovered a healthcare model called Direct Primary Care that restores the patient-physician relationship. Without insurance and hospital systems dictating how many patients a physician must see, I have time to listen to your concerns in an unhurried manner, answer your questions, and provide medical care customized to your particular needs. I opened Direct Primary Care of the Carolinas in December 2013 with a commitment to bring this new model of medical care to the Charlotte region. IF you are looking for a Patient-Doctor relationship in which the doctor: CARES about You and your Health, Has TIME to listen to Your Concerns, VALUES your Opinion and Health Goals, Truly WORKS for You and not a hospital system
