Practiced extensively throughout California and Alabama for many years. My background qualifies me as an experienced medically licensed provider for adult men and women in outpatient settings as well as mobile settings.
I am a mature, competent and responsible healthcare professional, disciplined in the primary practice of medicine and individual health care. I possess excellent communication skills whether face-to-face, with the group and/or in virtual setting. My professional manner engenders trust, confidence and compliance among the people I have the privilege to work with. Highly skilled in performing procedures such as CPR, infusion therapy, phlebotomy, surgical assisting, wound care, administering vaccines, medicines and other injections, history taking, physical exam; I know how to use PC and Apple product computers and software. Proficient in performing (virtual and in-person) periodic health assessments and military health evaluations prior/post deployment.
As an experienced health care provider, I believe a competent and positive attitude has a winning influence with clients/patients. Attitude contributes to better compliance and cooperation.I work well autonomously, especially in my fields of expertise: RHRP, primary care, and adult health. I am kind and compassionate. I have been trained by the years and relationships with people of diverse experiences. Valued for my partnership with the team and commitment to getting the job done.
