Education:

BS Chemistry, Univ. Fla (1974) with Honors MD Univ. S. Fla. College of Medicine (1977) Ob-Gyn Residency Mayo Clinic (1981) Board Certified Ob-Gyn (1983) Fellow of American College of Ob-Gyn (1985) Neverending ongoing continuing education. I am certain that the best education is an intense and never-ending journey. As such, I continuously qualify for both the American Medical Association and the ACOG Continuing Medical Education awards and 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 just purchased a brand new General Electric E8 3D/4D Ultrasound machine. 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. We are introducing tablet computers for patient check in and will continue the endless ongoing development of real-time decision support in our Electronic Health Records. Personal: I am a committed husband, father and grandfather. I have been with my beautiful wife Cindy since 1973. She is a successful flameworkglass 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 practicing Physician Assistant just outside Charlotte N.C. My life revolves around my practice of medicine, my family, personal fitness, acoustic guitar and my Bengal and Abyssinian cats.
