Doctor's Bio
After coming to Emory for medical school, it was Grady that kept me here for internal medicine residency and as an attending. I am passionate about educating residents and medical students and enjoy working with Grady patients each day. Beyond my work in the primary care center and on the inpatient wards, I also work in the Hepatitis C clinic and supervise the internal medicine resident ambulatory education curriculum.
