A Passion for Patient Care and Innovation
Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, as the child of a Haitian immigrant and a North Carolinian native, I developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures. I witnessed firsthand the value of hard work watching my father run his school bus business, rising at 5 a.m. every day. My perseverance was further shaped by the dedicated nuns and brothers who guided me through 13 years of Catholic school education.
My journey into medicine began at Yale University, where I pursued chemistry—merging my academic interests with my passion for cooking. I continued at Yale Medical School, where in my third year, I discovered my calling: treating patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). This realization led me to specialize in Interventional Radiology, dedicating my career to improving the lives of those suffering from vascular conditions.
During my training, I gravitated toward patients with the most severe cases—those at risk of losing their limbs. My residency at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City prepared me for an advanced Interventional Radiology Fellowship at the University of Michigan, where I trained alongside vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and interventional radiologists. I gained a deep understanding of open surgical approaches and multidisciplinary patient care, which further refined my expertise in peripheral vascular disease treatment.
At the Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I honed my skills over 11 years, developing an extensive background in limb preservation and wound care, earning certification in hyperbaric therapy. My passion for detail-oriented patient care made limb salvage work a natural fit.
Beyond Medicine: A Love for BBQ and the Outdoors
While in Wisconsin, I found unexpected passions—bow hunting, deer land management, and BBQ. My love for cooking led me to start a food truck, “The Hambulance: A Pig’s Final Ride”, specializing in everything from Texas-style brisket to North Carolina pulled pork. My favorite? A whole hog. This passion even shaped my personal motto:
“There are two things you don’t have to twist my arm to do: smoke a hog and recan tibial arteries.”
A Mission to Bring Advanced PAD Treatment to Underserved Populations
Driven by my passion for Peripheral Artery Disease treatment and limb preservation, I founded Precision Vascular Kentucky. My mission is to bring cutting-edge vascular treatments to underserved communities in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Through innovation and dedication, I am committed to helping patients regain mobility, preserve limbs, and improve their quality of life.
