"I provide comprehensive primary care, managing both acute concerns and chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I also enjoy performing office procedures including major joint injections, minor skin procedures and foot care. I am committed to providing practical, patient-centered care and being available to patients when they need it most," said Dr. Cummings. "Before becoming a physician, I served five years in the U.S. Army as a medic. I have also faced personal medical challenges that gave me a firsthand understanding of how medical conditions can become overwhelming. These experiences shape how I relate to patients and help me guide them through complex situations with clarity and support. "Outside the clinic, I enjoy shooting sports, learning gunsmithing, playing video games with my son and spending time with my family." Dr. Cummings is employed as a clinical faculty physician at The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.
