"I have enjoyed providing orthopedic surgical care to the people of Southwest Georgia since joining the Albany Orthopedic Center in 1981.  Although many things have changed through the years as the bureaucracy of medical care has become more complicated, my goal remains providing the best of  orthopedic treatment to my patients, provided with a caring spirit.

   Being a Christian, I am really happy that my occupation allows me to help others in time of injury or pain.  The orthopedic surgery specialty allows me to see and treat the full range of injuries and maladies of the musculoskeletal system, but I also enjoy getting to know my patients as individuals.

   I particularly enjoy joint replacement surgery as it is an opportunity to change a patient's life dramatically as the function of their new joint improves.  Although the joint replacements are not as good as those that the Almighty Father gave us, they still are a vast improvement over a painful arthritic joint."
