A quick reminder:

Today marks my final day seeing patients at Erlanger Sequatchie. To all who have entrusted me with their health over the past eight years: thank you. I hope to continue serving the valley for a long time to come. Much more information on my new practice will be coming next week - stay tuned!

We just hit 200 early interest list signups tonight - amazing! Thank you for the support - including all the support you have shown me through my years so far in the valley.

I’ve had the privilege of caring for this community for many years.

This new practice is my effort to build something simpler, more personal, and more sustainable, while hopefully providing care that is better, faster, and more convenient than possible in the typical insurance-based model of primary care.

I’m grateful for the support I’ve already seen.
