I'm a family physician in rural WV who is passionate about health education for patients and other healthcare providers. I enjoy writing about a variety of healthcare topics- healthy living, women's health, obesity management, and chronic diseases. I practice family medicine and obesity medicine full-time and write whenever I have some spare time.

I contribute frequently to Rainelle Medical Center's Wellness Works Facebook blog, which emphasizes healthy choices and disease prevention for our high-risk patient population.

I try to write relevant, timely health articles in a straightforward, non-biased manner. I hope to empower you to take charge of your health. Enjoy!
