Profile

Dr. Jackson was motivated to become a doctor after witnessing his mother, father, sister and brother all become successful in healthcare. He was especially interested in learning about the musculoskeletal system and the immune system. He chose to focus on rheumatology because rheumatologic cases are the most complex, however, when managed, can lead to great patient satisfaction. He most looks forward to patients telling him their symptoms have lessened and their quality of life has improved.

Dr. Jackson has spent a lot of time volunteering and mentoring youth and providing guidance to students interested in going to medical school. In his free time, he enjoys going to movies and traveling.
