Patients deserve more than a rushed prescription, a cold referral, and a surprise bill.

Why I Started LISM

For years, I practiced within highly respected academic healthcare systems — serving as a University of Kentucky faculty member and Team Physician for Georgetown College Athletics. By every measure, it was a fulfilling career. But I kept arriving at the same realization: the constraints of conventional practice were limiting the care I wanted to give.

Not because doctors don't care — they do. But a rushed 15-minute appointment doesn't allow a physician to look beyond the surface. It pressures quick prescriptions over root-cause answers, and leaves patients blindsided by surprise bills layered on top of their physical suffering.

I couldn't accept that as the standard.

So I built LISM — a deliberate middle ground between cutting-edge Western medicine and deep, root-cause integrative healing, with full price transparency. No hidden fees. No insurance middlemen. No assembly line. Just dedicated time to evaluate your whole picture and bring every tool in my medical toolkit to bear on your behalf.

Whether you're competing collegiately, playing weekend pickleball, hiking the Red River Gorge, or simply trying to keep up with your family without pain holding you back — I'm here to help you reach your best state of health.
