D. • Mercer University School of Medicine First graduating class-1986 Earned the Distinguished Graduate Award and the Physician’s Physician Award • Residency in internal medicine at Medical Center of Central Georgia • Opened Washington County Internal Medicine in 1990 "When you are a doctor in a small town, you're a doctor first…. I personally think it is an absolute privilege to be in a small town. I don't think you can have a more demanding job than that of being a small-town doctor. But I really don't think you can have a better one!"
