About ME

---

My career to date has been spent dedicated to community-based primary care. My early

education in Washington DC, medical school/residency training, and practice on the south side of Chicago denote my dedication to the person to person relationships which have built trust, and a humble practice.

It has been my pleasure to function in multiple venues of service. I have practiced within diverse

primary and preventive environments like addictions/recovery, Re-Entry care, HIV care,

community health clinics and Home physician care. 

I have also had extensive teaching

experience in outpatient settings and on In-Patient ward and Medical consultative services.

These experiences inform my treatment style and emphasis. I treasure the adage “First, Do No

Harm…”

My strengths spring from my background. Growing up in a multicultural America has provided a perspective that has served me well by allowing me to slip on another’s slipper, so to speak. 

I have traveled the world studying my craft and have seen how one-half the world’s population

lives on less than three dollars per day. 

Such an understanding promotes perspective and,

hopefully, a detachment from the world while living in it. This understanding drives my desire

to continue my service as an advocate, a confidant, a teacher, and a physician. 

Medicine is my ministry.

Budo dictates my personal life. Years of martial training have left me with little skill but greater

understanding. Everything is Kung Fu. Yin vs Yang. 

As such, modern medical practice may be

informed by traditional medicine, allopathic complemented by alternative. Life’s true teaching is compassion, and Budo is its expression.
