Awards & Recognition Former president, Seminole County Medical Society, numerous hospital staff committees, former American College of Surgeons Fellowship application committee member, Thomas Frist Humanitarian Award Differentiators I have always treated my ability to be a surgeon as a gift from God. It is a privilege to care for His people. As the senior member of the largest and oldest surgical practice in Seminole County, I have had 30-plus years of experience. I have also been blessed with an outstanding group of fellow surgeons, any one of whom could care for me or my family.
