As a family medicine physician blessed with a wide range of life experiences, I strive to provide top quality health and wellness care to our rural area. I have been practicing medicine for 30 years. 21 of those years were spent in the United States Air Force and teaching our future Family Medicine physicians in 2 residency programs. It was in the Air Force that I had the privilege of learning acupuncture from the “Father of North American Acupuncture,” Dr Joe Helms. This program forever changed my practice style and depth. I have now returned to the southeast Missouri region and will be doing a direct primary care model of practice with acupuncture and tele-health opportunities. I hope to be able to be a part of your wellness journey.
