I received my Medical Degree from St Georges University School of Medicine and completed a 3 year Internal Medicine residency in New York. I have 35 years of experience in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Urgent Care with over 50000 patient contacts. I have lived in Chicago, New York, England, Grenada and Florida has been my home for the past 36 years. Married for 40 years, my wife and I have two wonderful children and anchor our lives in Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. In my experience, most people I have encountered seek relief from their suffering while being treated with dignity and respect. This is accomplished by improving your physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. One of my greatest skills is LISTENING to you, my patient, and applying my years of experience and training together with the most recent advances in medicine, to address your concerns. The greatest medicine is to show my patient that someone genuinely cares about their station in life.
