What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I strongly believe that an active partnership between patient and provider is the foundation for excellent primary care. After over ten years in hospital medicine I transitioned to outpatient care several years ago with the goal of helping patients become more active participants in their healthcare and, in doing so, avoid the unnecessary hospitalizations I had so often witnessed earlier in my career. Being accessible to my patients and active in their care are two of my top priorities as a primary care provider. I look forward to working with you to identify your healthcare needs and goals while achieving them in a manner that works for you as a whole person. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? Anything that helps my patients become healthier and live healthier lives keeps me passionate about healthcare. Everything from providing a diagnosis and helping them better understand their condition(s) to finding better treatment options and helping them to stay focused on their goals such as weight loss or quitting smoking brings me great joy. It all comes down to listening to you, the patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In addition to my role as a healthcare provider, I am the proud father of five beautiful kids, who keep me busy doing a lot of the things I love. Our family loves camping in our Airstream, going to the beach near our home, watching movies (especially anything Disney), and we are all avid readers. I also play the guitar, and my wife and I are a folk duo (The Mosleys) who write songs and tour when we can. We love to play folk festivals with the kids along and we can be found playing small listening room venues around the Southeast.
