I am board certified in Neurology and fellowship board certified in Clinical Neurophysiology. Seeing patients with general neurological issues (e.g. concussion, seizure, syncope, neuropathy, headache, dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, tremors, multiple sclerosis, etc.) thrills me the most. I am focused on out patient neurology. I believe in patient and family centered care. I believe life style modification and non-pharmacological treatments are very essential part of treatment regimen. At our Burlington location, we offer NCS/EMG, EEG, ambulatory video EEG, Vagal Nerve Stimulatory management, injections for various conditions. We pride in our practices’ principals of compassionte neurological care, ease of access for our patients, communication with referring physician, etc.

ABOUT ME…
I was born in Chapel Hill and grew up in the mountains of North Carolina before going to UNC for college and Wake Forest for medical school, and so practicing in North Carolina came naturally. I have been practicing internal medicine in Burlington since 1999 and greatly enjoy talking to and caring for my patients, who are also my friends and neighbors.  I am actively involved with healthcare administration at a local and regional level to try to improve how we provide health care in our community.  I spend my time away from work trying to keep up with my wife and children, who are always on the go.

I am a father of three wonderful children, Demetra, Sophia, and Janse (all poised to be physicians) and the husband of a great wife, Theodora, to whom I have been married for 28 years.  As a retired Navy Commander, I have witnessed the delivery of health care in many different settings and I have participated in women’s health care now in Burlington, NC since 2001.  I enjoy the diversity of my profession from caring for young healthy pregnant women, to menopausal females, to complicated patients with life threatening diseases.  As a Board Certified Ob/Gyn, my training has been broad and thorough which has allowed me to offer a variety of treatment plans including minimally invasive surgeries for heavy menstruation, to corrective procedures for prolapse and surgery to repair urinary leakage.  I have a passion for exercise and staying fit and I try to help my patients to do the same.  I would be honored if you chose me to be your doctor.
