Understanding
your health means
understanding
the system.
The care you receive — what gets diagnosed, treated, or overlooked — is shaped by forces most physicians never name. I do. I'm a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician who spent over a decade inside America's poorest and sickest communities.
The system doesn't
fail patients
by accident.
For over a decade I practiced medicine on the South and West Sides of Chicago, in the communities American medicine most reliably fails. That work taught me that outcomes are determined long before a patient enters an exam room — by policy, economics, and the cultural assumptions embedded in how care is trained, funded, and delivered.
In 2025, I left that world and co-founded Twin Village Health with my twin sister, Psychiatrist Dr. Brandi Jackson. Our practice integrates the rigor of conventional medicine with evidence-based holistic approaches to treat physical and mental chronic disease simultaneously — because the separation between the two was never real to begin with.
I write and speak about what I witnessed on the frontlines — so patients and practitioners can see the system clearly, and navigate it on their own terms.
