I was born in Cullman, Alabama and moved to Montgomery in 1970. I graduated from Sidney Lanier High School and from Auburn University with honors in chemistry.

 

I attended the University of Alabama in Birmingham. During my senior year, I was vice president of the Tinsley R. Harrison Medical Society. My internship and residency were completed at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I served as chief resident in my final year and have been in family practice since 1990.

 

I am board certified and received my fellowship from the American Academy of Family Medicine. The fellowship is an avenue for special recognition for members of the AAFP who have distinguished themselves among their colleagues in community service and by professionalism developed through education, academics, and research. I am also board certified by the American College of Forensic Examiners. Recently, I was selected as one of the Best Doctors in America.

 

My interests include sports, water activities, reading and family. My wife, Tracie, is from Birmingham, Alabama, and we have two children, Madison and Savannah.

I am a native of western Missouri and finished my graduate degrees in my hometown at Central Missouri State University. Following an opportunity to do research at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama—Birmingham, I attended the University of Alabama School of Medicine and made Alabama my home. I completed my residency at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa where I had the honor of serving as Chief Resident during my last year.

 

After completing my residency, I practiced in southern Alabama for nearly four years before joining Montgomery Family Medicine. I am board certified to practice Family Medicine and have been certified as a Medical Review Officer. Additionally, I have an interest in industrial medicine. I hope to bring to Montgomery Family Medicine a diversity of knowledge and experience.

 

My patients can expect attentive, practical and cost effective care. I look forward to developing a long lasting relationship with my patients, my community and my colleagues.

 

My life is driven by discipline and commitment; I am strengthened by serving God and by my relationship with my wife Molly and our three children. I have always enjoyed being versatile and hope to pursue other fields of interest such as softball, basketball, medical illustration and playing the trombone.

Alabama is my home. I was born in Tuscaloosa and lived in Knoxville, Tennessee and Austin, Texas before my family settled in Montgomery in 1976. I graduated from high school locally at Lanier High School. I felt very fortunate to have had classes in the early days of the LAMP program at Lanier. My undergraduate studies were completed here in town at Auburn University at Montgomery.

I attended the University of Alabama School of Medicine at the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) before completing my residency at the Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency. I was named VA Internal Medicine Student of the Year while in Tuscaloosa. I enjoyed position on the Resident Selection Committee and was active in recruiting to the residency program.

I decided in 1995 to establish my family medicine practice here in Montgomery. Through the years, I developed a special interest in advanced dermatology and laser skin treatments. I have treated my patients for a variety of chronic skin conditions with these new modalities.

In order to provide a better service to my patients, I have received advanced training in procedures to assist patients in achieving the best possible skin condition. To best serve this growing need, I have opened Montgomery's first medical spa: Montgomery Aesthetics MedSpa Skin and Laser Center. This practice, conveniently situated adjacent to Montgomery Family Medicine, will specialize in BOTOX, dermal fillers, laser skin tightening, IPL, laser hair removal, and laser vein therapy.

My wife of fifteen years, the former Lori Pollard, is also from Montgomery. We currently have two sons, Ben and William, and one daughter Shelby. We have enjoyed returning to our hometown. We enjoy spending time together playing most sports including softball, baseball, cycling and basketball. We are heavily involved in church activities at Vaughn Forest Baptist Church and are proud to represent Christ in our daily life. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our growing medical practice at Montgomery Family Medicine.

As a family practice physician, it is my goal to treat patients of all ages with compassion while using the latest medical knowledge.

I view each patient as a unique individual. I hope to use my medical training to improve the health and quality of life of each person I treat.
