ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
I am blessed to love what I do, and being a doctor is the only job I ever really considered. Gastroenterology is a fascinating field, covering a wide variety of topics: nutrition and obesity, the various forms of food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and the delicate balance between the mind and the GI tract. My career as a Pediatric Gastroenterologist allows me focus on the medicine about which I am passionate, diagnose and treat children, and perform procedures that greatly improve quality of life for my patients and their families.
My education began at UGA where I majored in Psychology and minored in Biology, while playing for the varsity baseball team. I went on to medical school at the Medical College of Georgia and Pediatric Residency at Emory University. I completed my Pediatric GI fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where I focused my research on making colonoscopies more tolerable for children.
I count myself equally blessed to be married to my wife, Rebecca (a lawyer and fellow UGA graduate), and we have two beautiful children, Charlie and Caroline. After more than a decade together and having lived in four different cities, we are thrilled to be putting down roots in Knoxville. We love SEC football, cooking and entertaining, and traveling whenever possible.
