I developed a love of medicine as a paramedic and respiratory therapist, and medical school gave me the knowledge and skills to better care for those around me. Being able to help people with different problems continues to be one of the greatest joys of being a family doctor. Besides helping patients with their health problems, I have learned valuable lessons and insights from my patients.

    The nurse and Dr. Smith were wonderful. He informed me more about asthma and gave some very helpful advice on some things I can do to right away to potentially help with my flare up.

    The doctor was expert, quick, and to the point in recommending I go to the Kyle hospital for more in depth care. He also drew an excellent map showing the best way there.
