I left Kalamazoo over thirty years ago to pursue my goal of becoming a doctor. Since then I have had a variety of practice experiences, including inner city work at a clinic in Washington, D.C., and practicing within the Mayo Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I've also participated in medical mission trips to countries in the Caribbean, Central America and Africa. Now I'm pleased to have returned home to establish my own Ideal Medical Practice here.
