When I was 16 years old, I had the surprising experience of delivering my baby sister on my mom’s bathroom floor. That moment inspired me to become a midwife and care for women and their families in North Carolina. I am passionate about providing holistic, compassionate midwifery care during pregnancy, birth, and throughout the lifespan, focusing on supporting the family unit. In my spare time, I love hanging out with my fur babies, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
I enjoy seeing patients from a variety of backgrounds and spending time connecting with them and their individual concerns. As a physician assistant, I strive to provide high quality care and prevention to reduce risk factors and improve my patient’s quality of life. I am originally from Massachusetts, but the winters in North Carolina were too good pass up. Outside of work, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and hiking with my dogs.
As a general gastroenterologist, I treat conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as heartburn/acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, colon polyps, difficulty swallowing, liver disease, pancreatitis, and other conditions. I strongly believe in preventative care and polyp screening for my patients and perform routine upper and lower endoscopy. I have a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. It is important to me to listen to and educate my patients on their conditions and how to work together to best improve their quality of life. When not working, my time is spent with my wife and two dogs. My interests include gardening, hiking, and supporting the UNC Tar Heels.
I have always been interested in neurology and have a passion for taking care of patients with neurologic disorders. I see patients with a broad range of conditions within general neurology, including headaches, memory disorders, neuropathy, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease. I truly enjoy the opportunity to build long-term relationships with my patients. I believe in a collaborative relationship between the patient and the provider, and I strive to support my patients as we create an individualized treatment plan that suits their lifestyle and goals. In my free time, my hobbies include reading, yoga, and traveling.
I grew up in Alamance County and feel privileged to provide gastroenterology care in my local community. I enjoy developing relationships with patients and their families and helping them improve their symptoms and quality of life. I treat various gastrointestinal conditions, including GERD and heartburn, abdominal pain, bowel issues, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and many others. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my children and traveling to the North Carolina beach and mountains.
I love the practice of rheumatology and what it has to offer. It is a unique field that allows me to incorporate my pharmacy background when treating patients with autoimmune disorders. My philosophy in treating the patient is to listen to their story. I find that every patient has a unique story. What I love about rheumatology is the patient provider relationship that you build over time. This is very special to me. I have been practicing rheumatology since 2013. My family and I have been in Greensboro, North Carolina since the 1990s.

I’m a native North Carolinian and second generation gastroenterologist. I’m a general gastroenterologist, so I treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas. This includes heart burn, constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, and numerous other conditions. I also perform routine endoscopic procedures, such as upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. I love gastroenterology as a specialty because it requires a team effort from nurses, techs, and patients to provide quality care. Being from North Carolina, I treat my patients as family and encourage a dialogue with my patients as medicine is a balance of science and art. Every individual is different. When not working, I enjoy reading and hunting, but my main focus outside of work is my wife and two young sons.
I treat acute illnesses and chronic diseases, as well as preventative care. I was raised in Clayton, North Carolina and have lived in Alamance County since 1997. I enjoy helping and treating patients within my community. My approach to patient care is meeting patients where they are currently and working with them to create a plan that caters to them individually. My philosophy to patient care is to spend time with my patients, listen to them, understand them, encourage them, and build a relationship based on trust and honesty. I have three children at home with whom I spend most of my free time. I love to sing and am active within my church.

I truly love the practice of medicine and strive to do my best for my patients. I take a team-based approach and work with my patients to find the best treatment plans and individualize care based on realistic desired goals. My purpose is to help you become a more functional and physically better version of yourself by minimizing pain and discomfort when possible. This is done through epidural, facet, sacroiliac, and joint injections as well as blocks, rhizotomies, and overseeing physical and occupational therapy among others. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my husband and three wild and crazy boys. Back in the day, I was an avid soccer player and enjoy the outdoors. My husband and I are also big foodies.
