When I’m not in the clinical setting, you can find me enjoying time with my wife and family, perfecting my Cajun cooking, hitting the trails on my mountain bike or competing in triathlons. Throughout my career, I have remained laser-focused on providing world-class care and innovation to the patients I treat on a daily basis. I look forward to knowing you!
