In my role as the Medical Center Director of Blanket Health, my dedication is unwavering, ensuring that you receive the highest quality healthcare in an environment that prioritizes your well-being. Our clinic is designed to provide a comprehensive range of services, addressing various health needs, including heart disease, hypertension, weight management, cancer treatment, alternative pain relief, rheumatic diseases, full primary care, annual physicals, thyroid issues, and hormone disorders.

My journey in the medical field began with a distinguished medical degree with honors from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2008. This was complemented by pursuing a Juris Doctor degree from Tulane Law School in 2004 and attaining a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 1999.

Currently, I serve as the Chief of Medicine at Broward Health North, a Level 2 Trauma Center. In this esteemed role, I also chair the Utilization Committee and actively contribute to the Peer Review Committee. My commitment to excellence is further reflected in maintaining board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine and holding certifications in emergency medical technology (EMT) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). As a dedicated member of the Broward County Medical Association, I contribute to its finance committee, engaging in initiatives that advance healthcare in our community.

Beyond my professional commitments, I proudly lead humanitarian efforts as the Head of Medicine for the Humanitarian Aid and Rescue Project (HARP RESCUE). This role allows me to contribute to the delivery of crucial medical assistance to refugees and disaster survivors globally, embodying a commitment to positive global change.

My dual role as Chief of Medicine at Broward Health North and Medical Center Director at Blanket Health uniquely positions me to integrate experiences from both outpatient and hospital settings, ensuring you receive the best care possible.
