Licensed in Alabama since 1998, according to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and Medical Licensure Commission. We show license dates only for the states that publish them in bulk; see which states do. For other states, check the state medical board.
The NPI date is when this clinician registered for a National Provider Identifier, the billing number used on health claims. It is not a license, graduation or board-certification date. NPIs were first issued in May 2005 and became required on claims in 2007–2008, so an early date usually means the clinician was already in practice before then. What an NPI is
Education and training
- 1993Medical school: Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine
