I am a board certified emergency physician and medical toxicologist. I completed my emergency medicine residency training at Indiana University School of Medicine and my medical toxicology training at Emory University School of Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I specialize in the care of the acutely ill and injured patient and also the care of the overdosed and poisoned patient. It is an honor and privilege to serve of all of Atlanta’s citizens from all walks of life in my professional roles here at Grady Hospital and the Georgia Poison Center.
