I have enjoyed the practice of medicine so very much. Private practice has been an education far beyond what I was taught in medical school. It has been a privilege. Public speaking has been a large part of my career. I have presented hundreds of lectures throughout the southeastern United States to physicians and the public on hypertension, cholesterol disorders, smoking cessation, alcoholism/recovery, physician burnout, and other health related topics. Also, I offer personal coaching services to physicians and other professionals who are suffering from the effects of job related burnout. Consultancy services are readily available to physician employers who wish to detect, prevent, or eliminate job-employee mismatches which can lead to job related burnout. I'm an avid runner/hiker and also enjoy scuba diving, woodworking and amateur astronomy. I love to explore new places and have new experiences so I'm simply nuts about travel!
