Professional areas of interest
I practice across the broad scope of Family Medicine and have special interest in preventative health, “cholesterol” problems, diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and geriatrics. I enjoy the challenge of difficult diagnoses.
Personal Statement
I believe that all people are important. People should not be prejudged; they should always be “given the benefit of doubt”-this belief has, though it may seem simple, eased the suffering of many patients that I have encountered over the past 22 years as a physician. I am devoted to helping every patient and have been able to discover many diseases that others have missed with careful listening and a more thorough investigation of their problems.
As you may notice when you visit our office, one of my hobbies is being an amateur arborist. You will see a variety of native Missouri trees and shrubs growing around our office. I particularly enjoy this quote as it applies to living life:
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. -- Nelson Henderson
Personal Information
I was born in central Kansas and grew up in around the country. I have two brothers and one sister. My father is a K-State graduate and is an engineer at Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant in Burlington, KS. I have been married to my wife, who has her Masters in Social Work from the University of Kansas, since 1984. We have three children: Emily, 1988, is currently studying harp performance at the University of Indiana; Spencer, 1996, enjoys basketball, swimming, tennis, scouts, and computer games; Claire, 1998, enjoys playing the harp, piano, swimming, diving, and shopping with her dad (he’s a pushover). I play tennis regularly and golf occasionally and enjoy snow skiing in the winter. I frequently make time for an occasional evening with my wife without the kids. I believe the best way to show your love for your children is to love your wife.
