Since I... Read More about William Smith IV, MD

While childhood illness can cause some people to want to limit their contact with medical providers, it had the opposite effect on me; I wanted to become one. I saw firsthand the difference that quality medical care can make, and I knew I wanted to provide it. That desire led me first to medical school, and later to earn board...

My favorite bedtime story was about a young rabbit who fell in a hole and broke his leg. I was the hero who came along, mended his leg and safely dispatched him to his anxiously awaiting mother. This may have been one of the reasons I was destined at a young age to do medicine (although not veterinary strangely enough).... Read More about Mark Murphy, MD

The job of a doctor has many parts. I get to perform procedures, provide medical treatment and work closely with patients to manage care plans.

Cardiology is a very personal field for me, as I have seen the impacts remarkable heart care can have on a patient and a family.

Because of... Read More about Peter Wiegman, MD

My father was a family physician in a small North Carolina town for over 50 years, and my admiration for - and loving relationship with - him helped shaped my desire to pursue a career in medicine. \n So did my first personal exposure to medicine. As a 5-year-old-boy, I spent almost two weeks in the hospital receiving treatment for... Read More about James Forrester Jr, MD

I've been enamored with medicine for as long as I can remember.

He had me transferred to Moses Cone... Read More about George McLeod, MD
