Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2025
I came to Nashville when I was 17 and knew no one with a fairly serious medical condition. I’m now in my mid 30s and he has continued to go above and beyond; literally kept me alive through many flares, and has been able to diagnose symptoms that no other doctor has by thinking outside the box. At 17 he took care of me as if I was his own and continues to. He’s an amazing doctor and I can’t recommend him enough!!
