- I earned my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center Houston in 2003 and completed my residency at St. Louis University School of Medicine in 2006.
- I began my career as a family physician but spent many years in the Air Force working as a flight surgeon, providing care for our pilots. Hyperbaric medicine is an integral part of flight medicine because of its role in treating altitude-related disorders. I was fascinated by this unique realm of medicine and the various conditions it was utilized for and pursued additional fellowship training in undersea and hyperbaric medicine.
- My primary goal is to serve others and give everything I have in doing so. I take great pride in knowing that I’ve done everything I can to help my patients, even when the outcome isn’t what I would hope for. My joy comes from building a close relationship with my patients and from their recognition that their health care is my top priority.
- I love the fields of both hyperbaric medicine and wound care. Within hyperbaric medicine, my particular focus is on treating diving and altitude-related disorders as well as other emergency conditions. I also have an interest in pursuing and researching the treatment of some less commonly treated conditions in hopes of advancing the scope of hyperbaric medicine.
- I am married and have three children. In my spare time I enjoy hiking and working on home improvement projects.
- I spent 20 years, from 2003-2023, serving as a physician in the United States Air Force, providing health care to our military members, their families and veterans in clinical and hospital settings, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have a passion for leading and participating in faith-based international mission work as well local efforts to provide resources for San Antonio’s homeless population.
