I am a solo Family Physician. I have a private practice in Corydon, Indiana. My office is located in the Doctor's Office Building next to Harrison County Hospital. I see patients of all ages and cover the whole spectrum of primary health care. Some of the problems I commonly treat, just to name a few, are heart disease, bronchitis, diabetes, infections, injuries, lacerations, digestive problems, menopause, contraception, rashes, thyroid disease, fatigue, pain, and depression. I also am a specialist certified in Geriatric Medicine. As a geriatrician, I deal with common problems associated with aging. As our population ages, many more people are facing problems of getting older such as arthritis, insomnia, and memory loss. I am here to help with these and other problems more common with aging. My practice is oriented toward prevention, especially with regards to cancer and heart disease. You can schedule a yearly physical exam, or a routine gynecologic evaluation through my office. I perform minor sugical procedures in my office such as removal of skin cancers and moles. I also treat other common skin conditions such as acne in teens. I treat sports injuries in students athletes as well as in weekend athletes. Students involved in sports can schedule a sports physical through my office. As a solo family doctor, I like to emphasize the very personal attention my office gives to each one of our patients. I will be your doctor, and each one of my staff will be focused on helping you. The long term doctor-patient relationship is very important to me. I want to be a partner with you in meeting your health care needs. If you have any questions about my practice or what I do, please call my office at 738-3293. If you would like, we can set you up with an introductory appointment just to go over how we can assist you in staying healthy.

Have noticed your skin turning bronze (and not from a suntan) and your joints are sore? These could be early signs of hemochromatosis, a condition in which iron collects in body tissues and can damage the heart and other organs.
