About Me

I am a family medicine doctor, and I went into medicine because I wanted to help people lead healthy lives. I grew up along the border of Texas and Mexico, where there are a lot of health disparities and chronic illness is rampant. My mother went through hospitalizations and dealt with chronic illness since I was a child. Having spent so much time seeing what it was like for her to be a patient and how fundamental health is, I wanted to do my part to make sure that people had access to health care, be a partner in health with my patients, and help them advocate for what they need. I enjoy getting to work with patients of all ages and treating families. Outside of medicine, I enjoy walking, reading, spending time with my pets and wife, and finding new places.

Ratings and Reviews

The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to care provider related questions on our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Learn more about our survey process. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

I like to do research that involves me talking and working with community members to focus on issues important to the communities I serve. My interests are in addiction, LGBTQ+ care, mobile health, primary care, health care for people experiencing homelessness, justice-involved communities, and ways we can combat racism within science and medicine. My passion is expanding access to primary care outside of clinical spaces and into neighborhoods.
