Today, we celebrate the strength, care, and resilience of mothers everywhere. 🌷

From lifting, carrying, and caring for others to showing up day after day, often without pause, mothers do more than most people realize.

At every stage of life, your health matters too. Taking care of your body allows you to keep doing the things, and caring for the people, you love most.

Wishing all the moms a happy, healthy Mother’s Day. 💐

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY❤️

Mother’s Day is a reminder that some of the most important “heavy lifting” in life happens quietly, consistently, and often without recognition.

To all the moms out there…

Thank you for the sacrifices nobody sees.
The early mornings.
The late nights.
The endless juggling act of work, family, schedules, emotions, and responsibilities.

You are the steady force behind the love, health, and strength of so many families.

Mothers teach resilience without lectures.
Compassion without conditions.
And unconditional love without expecting anything in return.

Today, I especially want to thank my mom.

Thank you for teaching me right from wrong.
For showing me that hard work, discipline, and dedication are the currency that pays in life.
And most importantly… thank you for loving me through every stage of my journey.

And to my wife, Kerri…

Thank you for being the incredible mother you are to Emersyn and Libby. They are the amazing young women they are becoming because of your love, guidance, patience, and example.

I also want to thank you — and apologize — for all the late nights, early mornings, missed celebrations, interrupted vacations, and moments my career demanded time away from our family.

Medicine can be consuming.
You have carried more than your share so I could continue caring for others.

I could not do this life without you.

I love you.
Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

Arthritis doesn’t look the same for everyone, and understanding the differences can help you recognize symptoms sooner.

In men, arthritis more commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees, often tied to wear and tear over time. In women, it’s more likely to impact the hands and knees, and is often linked to inflammatory or autoimmune conditions. ✨

➡ Different patterns, same goal: finding the right care to keep you moving comfortably.

Reminder: we offer walk-in clinics every Saturday from 8-noon ✨

“If you are standing in the way of my goals and dreams, I would suggest you move.

Because the Chillicothe Project is happening.

Not for ego.
Not for headlines.
Not for politics.

For patients who deserve access.
For families tired of driving hours for care.
For healthcare workers who deserve to work in a culture that values safety, innovation, and purpose.
For a community that deserves more than the status quo.

This project was built on vision, sacrifice, discipline, and an unwavering belief that rural healthcare can be better.

There have been obstacles.
Delays.
Resistance.
Doubters.
Moments where it would have been easier to quit.

But meaningful things are rarely built without friction.

We kept matriculating the ball down the field.
We secured the land.
The entitlements.
The partnerships.
The infrastructure.
The support.

And most importantly, we never lost sight of the mission:





The Chillicothe Project is bigger than a building.
It is a statement that South Central Ohio deserves world-class care close to home.

And we are just getting started.”

After years of struggling with his legs giving out and being limited by pain, James Crain knew something wasn’t right, but finding answers wasn’t easy. 👀

Today, he’s back on his feet and doing the things he enjoys again, thanks to the right diagnosis and care. His journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when you don’t settle for living with pain.

Today, we pause to recognize the nurses who show up, day after day, with skill, steadiness, and heart. 💙

✨ Happy National Nurses Day ✨

Nurses are often the first face a patient sees and the steady presence that carries them through some of life’s most vulnerable moments. They translate complexity into comfort. They notice the small changes. They advocate when it matters most. And they do it all while balancing compassion with clinical precision in ways that rarely get the credit they deserve.

From preparing patients for surgery, to supporting recovery, to offering reassurance when fear feels heavy, nurses are at the center of patient care in a way that cannot be replaced.

We see you. 👀

We see the long shifts that stretch even longer. The moments you push through exhaustion because someone needs you. The quiet wins that never make headlines but change someone’s entire experience of care.

And we want you to know: your work matters more than words can fully capture.

To every nurse, in hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, schools, and communities, thank you for the expertise you bring and the humanity you never leave behind.

Care is what we do. But nurses? Nurses are what make it possible to do it well.

Is this how you live?

Always looking forward. Always chasing. Always asking, How can I be a better father, husband, friend, doctor, person?

I know that mindset well. Growth matters. Purpose matters. Momentum matters.

But if we are not careful, we spend so much time staring at the next mountain that we forget to appreciate the one we already climbed. We forget to honor the road that shaped us.

This weekend reminded me of that.

I spent time with a college roommate I had not seen in more than 32 years. We broke bread, shared wine, and laughed while trying to remember stories neither of us could fully piece together. The details were blurry, but the feeling was crystal clear. Those years mattered. Those memories mattered. That friendship still mattered.

I also reconnected with one of my closest friends, someone I had not spoken to in years. When we embraced, any regret I carried about time and distance disappeared instantly. Some connections do not expire. They simply wait for us to return. Meeting his two-year-old daughter made the moment even more meaningful. Life had moved forward, but the bond was still there.

And I was reminded that some friendships are tied to place, season, and circumstance—and that does not make them any less real. Sometimes they are exactly what your soul needs in that moment.

I share this because many high performers live in perpetual pursuit. We chase goals, growth, and what is next. But occasionally, the healthiest thing we can do is pause… look back… and be grateful.

Reconnect.
Reflect.
Remember who walked with you.
Honor the road behind you as much as the one ahead.

The person you are today was built by moments and people you may not have thanked enough.

Thank you Craig Friedman .
Thirty-two years has nothing on us. The next reunion will happen sooner.

Thank you Adam Gazzaley see you and your family in the fall with our girls!

God Bless❤️

Some people never understand what you bring to the table… until they see you building another one.

For years, I poured everything I had into caring for patients in Chillicothe. Long hours. Sacrifice. Relentless commitment to outcomes. A belief that healthcare should always start and end with one principle: patients first.

Not everyone values that mindset when it challenges the status quo.

Sometimes innovation is viewed as disruption.

Sometimes doing what is right for patients gets mistaken for something else.

But adversity has a way of clarifying purpose.

What some saw as resistance became fuel.

What some tried to minimize became momentum.

What some failed to recognize became the foundation for something bigger.

Now that energy is being poured into the Great Seal Medical Center project in Chillicothe—a new model centered on what should have mattered all along:

Patients first.
Patient safety first.
Patients over profits.

A facility designed to bring advanced care closer to home.
Technology chosen because it improves outcomes.
A culture built around service, access, and accountability.
A place where the patient experience and employee experience both matter.

Sometimes rejection is redirection.
Sometimes opposition is confirmation.
Sometimes the table you were meant to sit at… is the one you were meant to build.

Amazing to think it has now been 25+ years since I began practicing in Chillicothe.

A quarter plus century of caring for this community has only strengthened my belief that patients deserve more — more access, more innovation, more accountability, and above all, more safety.

Now, after 25+ years, we stand on the edge of something transformational. We are closer than ever to breaking ground on a facility built with one mission at its core:
PATIENT SAFETY

This will not be healthcare built around convenience or complacency.

It will be a center designed to deploy the latest proven technologies to reduce infection risk, improve outcomes, and create what we believe can become the safest surgical environment in the world to undergo a procedure.

And we welcome scrutiny.
We invite comparison.
We encourage measurement.

Test us. Measure us. Prove us wrong.

Because when you build with conviction, transparency is not a threat — it is the standard.

Twenty-five plus years in practice.

Still hungry.
Still building.
Still putting patients first.

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, the perfect time to bring attention to a condition that affects millions and can impact everyday movement and quality of life. 😁

Joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility aren’t something you have to simply “live with.” With the right care and a proactive approach, there are ways to manage symptoms, stay active, and protect your long-term joint health. ✨

If you’ve been experiencing ongoing discomfort, it may be time to get answers, and a plan that works for you.
