Growing up in Central Texas, I thought I’d live in Austin forever. I came to Fort Worth to study medicine at UNT’s Health Science Center-Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and then completed an internal medicine internship and residency at Plaza Medical Center (now Medical City Fort Worth). I fell in love with my wife and the Metroplex. We decided to stay here and start our family. Since 1996, this has been my home.
I started an internal medicine practice in 2004 with a fellow resident and friend. For 12 years, we humbly served the Fort Worth community and grew the practice to 6 physicians and 1 Nurse Practitioner. In 2016, after taking care of thousands of patients in the clinic and hospital, I decided to concentrate my medical efforts on the sickest patients by predominantly practicing in the hospital.
I started to miss the long-term relationships I had built with my patients in private practice. So, Helical Health was born. This is a different kind of practice. I have a mission to take care of patients by listening, minimizing traditional hassles, respecting both the benefits and risks of treatment options and, most importantly, strengthening the patient-physician relationship.
