Doctor's Bio
After coming to Emory University for medical school, it was Grady that inspired me to stay for my internal medicine residency and ultimately join the faculty as an attending physician. I’m passionate about educating residents and medical students while caring for Grady’s patients each day. In addition to my work in the Primary Care Center and on the inpatient teaching services, I care for patients in the Hepatitis C Clinic and help lead the internal medicine resident ambulatory education curriculum.
