UF Health General Medicine provides comprehensive primary care for adolescents beginning at age 16 to the elderly. Outpatient services are offered at three separate locations: the Ambulatory Care Center on the UF Health Jacksonville campus, UF Health North and on Jacksonville's Southside at UF Health Emerson Medical Plaza.

Faculty physicians also see patients admitted to the medicine teams at UF Health Jacksonville. Inpatient medical care is provided by a team of physicians comprised of one faculty physician, three internal medicine residents and a third-year medical student.

He provides outpatient geriatric services, including a comprehensive geriatric assessment clinic, a dementia clinic, as well as inpatient hospice and palliative care consultation to patients.
