A New Orleans native, I moved to Baton Rouge in 1999. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia, my medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and my post-graduate training from the Comprehensive Cancer Center in Birmingham, Alabama. I am Board certified in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Oncology. My practice centers around the treatment of all cancer diagnoses, as well as, the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the blood such as anemias and clotting disorders.
In addition to practicing medicine, I have volunteered time in the community as the president of the Louisiana Oncology Society for three years. I also serve on various local hospital committees and am a member of several local social and charitable organizations. I am married with three children and enjoy traveling with my family. Most of my hobbies center around my family with travel and sports including fishing, skiing, soccer and hunting.
