What general advise do you have for South Mississippians to improve their health? Sleep is often a signi cant factor in
both neurologic and general medical conditions. Make sure to discuss your sleep with your doctors to ensure it is
not contributing to any health problems.
How do you like to relax?
Playing with my 4 dogs or spending time with friends and family.

Why do you enjoy what you
do? It’s very rewarding taking care of people.
Have you had an interesting or unusual case you can tell us about? We have had several patients come in with strokes who have received the ‘clot busting’ drug. It is amazing watching their symptoms disappear. This doesn’t always happen, but when it does, it’s remarkable.
