About Me
I am a father of three wonderful children, who are all poised to be physicians, and the husband of a great wife, Theodora, to whom I have been married for 28 years. As a retired Navy Commander, I have witnessed the delivery of health care in many different settings, and I have participated in women’s health care now in Burlington, North Carolina since 2001. I enjoy the diversity of my profession from caring for young healthy pregnant women to menopausal females to complicated patients with life-threatening diseases. As a Board-Certified OB/GYN, my training has been broad and thorough, which has allowed me to offer a variety of treatment plans such as minimally invasive surgeries for heavy menstruation, corrective procedures for prolapse, and surgery to repair urinary leakage. I have a passion for exercise and staying fit, and I try to help my patients to do the same.

Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.
