I completed my residency at Howard University in Washington, DC and Mount Sinai in Chicago, Illinois. After residency, I began practicing family medicine at Health Partners in Minnesota, where I remained for over 12 years. During my time at Health Partners, I fostered meaningful relationships with patients and their families. I enjoyed the interactions and more importantly, learned from them. In Texas, I plan to continue the same practices. Throughout my career, I have received numerous honors and awards including being nominated for the Minnesota Family Physician of the year award in 2008 and 2009. I was also featured as a guest physician on the “Doc Hollywood” TV show series, hosted by HealthPartners from 2013-2014. We educated viewers on diverse medical conditions which they selected.
