I have a unique opportunity in which I only see patients in the ICU at Rockledge Regional Medical Center. Here I get to do what I love — practice Critical Care medicine. I assess and treat patients that are in their most fragile and vulnerable state. Most of the patients I care for have respiratory issues, like pneumonia or chronic lung disease. Some have dangerously low blood pressure or other ailments.
Together with a multidisciplinary team, the patient and their family, we determine the best options to help them. My role allows me to interact with the family members of patients, too. The patients are sick and their families are scared. I feel compassionate communication with the families or loved ones is almost as important as taking care of the patient.
I have a wonderful wife named Monica and 14-year-old triplets — two boys and one girl. I love spending time with them!
When I am not rounding on patients, you can usually find me at the beach with my family or coaching my children in various sports.
I also love to play golf and am interested in aviation.
