General Practitioners

• Family Practice
  I have always thrived on providing care, as a nurse and now a nurse practitioner, that is holistic and includes the physical, emotional, and spiritial aspect of care. I am certified in Family Practice but have found that Urology is my love. I enjoy providing treatment for Urological conditions but have felt that female sexuality is an area that has been essentially ignored in medicine. I pursued further education and training in this area and feel there are a lot of treatment options that are evidenced based for the women of our community. It is really quite exciting. It is an honor to take care of the community that I have been raised in and continue to raise my children in.

• Erectile Dysfunction
• Urinary Incontinence
  Macroplastique – A less invasive option for adult female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) primarily due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD)

Gynecologists

• Pelvic Pain

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  I returned to the area for two reasons. I value the high quality urologic care which Urology Associates provides. Secondly, my wife, an internal medicine physician, and I appreciate raising our two children in an area where both the land and people are beautiful. My family and I are excited to be part of this community and I am honored to serve its members.
• Bladder Cancer
  In addition, I have experience in treating kidney cancer, bladder cancer and prostate cancer through minimally invasive techniques such as robotic assisted laparoscopy.
• Urology
  My experience as a patient taught me the most valuable lessons about being a physician including the decision to study medicine with an Osteopathic focus. Midwestern University-Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine provided me with a curriculum combining all of the traditional medical arts with the special emphasis on the entire patient. My subsequent Allopathic training at West Virginia University in the department of surgery and urology allowed me to combine this medical school foundation with strong and independent specialty training in urologic surgery.
• Kidney Cancer
• Kidney Stones
  One of the most practical lessons of being in practice for the last eight years has been the appreciation that less is sometime better for the patient. I have applied this principal by adopting minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of prostate disorders, kidney stones and erectile dysfunction.
• Testicular Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
  RRP (Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy) – Treatment of prostate cancer by removing the prostate and accessory glands while maintaining continence and sexual function using the Davinci Robot.

Plastic Surgeons

• Laparoscopic Surgery
  An area of particular focus in my practice is female urology. During my training I saw an opportunity to improve on the understanding and surgical management of pelvic prolapse and incontinence including the finesse of non-surgical management of over-active bladder, pelvic pain, and urinary control. In addition, my training at WVU gave me extensive experience with cancers of the kidney and bladder. This intensive program provided the necessary skills to later incorporate laparoscopic surgery into my practice.

Dermatologists
