Treating patients as human beings and not numbers, seeing one patient at a time, and trying to be honestly helpful – THAT is the core of our mission.

Our entire staff strives
to live out the mission:

to Treat You With
the Best Possible Balance
of Compassionate Caring (Art)
and Technology (Science)

I am a committed husband (since 1978), father, and grandfather. I have been with my beautiful wife Cindy since 1973. She is a successful flame-work glass artist who can usually be seen at the Virginia Beach, Boardwalk Art Show. My oldest daughter, Jayme, works for Google in Boston, Ma. My youngest, Melinda, is a Physician Assistant outside of Greensboro, North Carolina. My life revolves around my practice of medicine, my wife, 2 daughters, 2 son-in laws, 5 grandchildren, personal fitness, acoustic guitar, two Bengal cats, a Koi pond and a Bonsai Garden.

Education:
BS Chemistry, U of F ’74 with Honors
MD USF College of Medicine (1977)
Ob-Gyn Residency Mayo Clinic(1981)
Board Certified Ob-Gyn (1983)
Fellow American College OBGYN(1985)
Never-ending continuing education.

I am certain that the best education is an intense and never-ending journey. As such, I continuously qualify for the ACOG Continuing Medical Education awards and I voluntarily re-certify EVERY YEAR through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Ultrasound: For over a quarter-century, I have performed all of my own gynecologic ultrasounds. I have attended over 20 postgraduate courses on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology. I personally perform 2D, 3D, and/or 4D ultrasound as needed on all of my gynecology patients providing a remarkable advantage in the interpretation of ultrasound information enhancing its integration into decision-making. We have a General Electric E8 Ultrasound machine with 2D/3D/4D, Colorflow, and Spectral Doppler, 3D Multiplanar, Surface rendering, Omniview, and Tomographic ultrasound imaging.

Electronic Health Records: I am passionate about technology. In 1998, many years before most practices, I introduced electronic health records into my office. I have spent literally thousands of hours using and developing problem-solving sequences and embedding them into the structure of the electronic health record allowing greater security, stability, e-prescribing, and features that enhance the patient’s overall experience.
