What drew you to ENT and orofacial plastic surgery?

The combination of medical and surgical care in ENT is incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m helping a patient breathe more easily, restore their hearing, or feel more confident in their appearance, the impact on quality of life is immediate and meaningful. Adding orofacial plastic surgery to my practice allows me to offer a truly comprehensive level of care.

What does being a DO mean for your patients?

Osteopathic medicine trains physicians to see the body as an interconnected whole. That perspective shapes everything I do — I don’t just focus on the ear, nose, or throat in isolation. I consider how each condition fits into a patient’s overall health and life, which leads to more thoughtful, personalized treatment plans.

What does your role as a community physician mean to you?

Port Neches and the surrounding Southeast Texas communities are home to hardworking families who deserve access to high-quality specialty care close to home. Being here for this community — and having served as Chief of Surgery at a local hospital — reflects my commitment to raising the standard of care in this region.
