Welcome to Heirloom Healthcare! I truly appreciate that you have taken the time to explore our practice and the ways in which I can help you.

My journey in medicine first began in medical school, where I discovered a passion for exercise and nutrition alongside the science of caring for people. I chose to become a family medicine physician for many reasons. Apart from being drawn to the intellectual aspects of various fields in medicine, I appreciate the continuity of caring for individuals over a lifetime. I enjoy treating the entire patient — not just a number, a body part, or a disease. I am committed to integrating my medical knowledge with my passion for nutrition and lifestyle medicine to provide my patients the highest quality care a physician can offer.

At Heirloom Healthcare, I believe good medicine is time dependent. Medicine is both an art and a science. It is important that the patient have adequate time to convey their concerns and explain their symptoms. It is equally important that the physician have adequate time to evaluate the patient, arrive at a proper diagnosis, prescribe the correct treatment, and answer all questions. Unfortunately, this idealized version of practicing medicine is not always feasible. The current healthcare system emphasizes volume, forcing physicians to see as many patients as possible and to meet unrealistic and arbitrary metrics. This results in superficial relationships, unsatisfied patients, physician burnout, and ultimately, subpar medical care.

Fortunately, I met an inspiring group of physicians who believed in the same principles I do. These physicians practice Direct Primary Care, a model of healthcare delivery that focuses on the value of medical care provided rather than the volume of care provided. I recognized the tremendous benefits this model offers to both patients and physicians. And thus, Heirloom Healthcare was born — right here in Marietta.
