To prospective teammates,

I’m the medical director for the Sound Physicians team at Northwest Medical Center in the heart of Amarillo, Texas. With over a decade of service at Northwest and seven years at Sound, I can confidently say that we’ve built something special in the realm of hospital medicine.

Additionally, we hold positions as the president and president-elect of the medical staff committee. Some of our physicians are actively involved in other committees such as chest pain, critical care, and management.
