Mental Health Services of Southern Oklahoma

Offering my very best as a surgeon is my first priority. Getting the chance to provide care and help patients live a more fulfilling life is an honor.

At a young age I knew I wanted to go into medicine. As a physician, I strive to provide compassionate care and enjoy spending time with my patients and getting to know them. It is important to me to help my patients through trying times. I love helping patients who are trying to get pregnant, helping them through their pregnancy, then handing them their child in the end. It is special. I am so fortunate my patients trust me during such an important and intimate time in their lives. Over the past 25 years, I have built strong bonds with my patients and am looking forward to continuing to provide care for the Ardmore community.

I knew I wanted to go into medicine from a young age. My father is a physician as well and I grew up helping him around his office. When I got to medical school, I decided I wanted to go into general surgery because of the range of different operations we can perform and the ability to help patients manage acute and long-term conditions. I am most passionate about robotic surgery. My residency program was very robotic-heavy. I think it has a lot of benefits for certain patient populations and I'm very glad that Ardmore has that capability. With robotic surgery, we can do gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery - specifically ventral, umbilical and inguinal hernias. The most gratifying part of practicing medicine for me is getting someone through their illness, getting them out of the hospital and back home and then seeing them in the office and following up with them and see that they're doing better.
