Zachary is a medical provider at Inspire Medical. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Dayton and his master’s degree in Physician Assistant at Chatham University. He began his career in trauma surgery at the University of Florida and moved to Nashville to work in trauma orthopedics. He realized that while he enjoyed caring for sick and injured people, this was not his passion for medicine. Having struggled with weight since adolescent, he knows firsthand the difficulties of losing weight. It wasn’t until having a wellness assignment during graduate school that his motivation to change his lifestyle began. His passion for wellness and weight loss drives him to do everything he can to help his patients optimize their health and be the best versions of themselves.
