They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.
On a daily basis, Dr. Combs is involved with providing direct patient care, supervising physician assistants, and diabetes care. He was inspired to go into this profession as he grew up in a family of doctors and saw firsthand the value of this kind of work. In this respect, he takes extra care in listening to his patients and seeing them as people rather than a number. To continue providing quality health care services, he stays current with medical literature and advancements, as well as attending conferences. He believes his faith, determination and compassion for human beings has aided in the success of his career.
In conjunction with his professional responsibilities, Dr. Combs gives back to his community through the Freedom Ministries Church and serves as a senior instructor with Oh Do Kwan Taekwondo, through which he received a first- then later a second-degree black belt.
