While growing up in New Orleans, I was fascinated with the concept of medicine. As a medical student training at LSU medical school, and as an Internal Medicine resident at University of Mississippi Medical Center, I discovered a passion for taking care of the entire person, not focusing on one organ system. During this period, I developed an interest for infectious diseases. I then completed my fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Specializing in infectious diseases allows me to continue to treat the entire person with a focus on infections. I enjoy the unique challenges infectious diseases presents, and the bonds I form with my patients and their families over the years. I always strive to provide individualized care for my patients. My treatments are based upon the best medical practices while taking into account my patients’ treatment goals. If needed, I reach out to other medical providers to form a team approach for medical management of complex diseases.
