Dr. Glidewell is board-certified in family medicine

“I knew from an early age that I wanted to help people and what better way to do that than
become a physician. As I grew more familiar with the medical field, I developed a
love of family medicine, in that I can care for all ages and diseases,” he says. “That passion
continues to this day as I look forward to developing a relationship with and helping each and
every one of my patients.”

“Growing up in north Mississippi, you went to a North Mississippi Medical Center facility when you were sick and had to go to the hospital, no questions asked. The care provided
by NMMC physicians, nurses and staff far exceeds, at least in my experience, the care provided
by other facilities. So, naturally, when the opportunity came to become a part of that rich
tradition of high quality healthcare, I was honored and excited to do so.”

Dr. Glidewell’s hobbies include “spending time with my wife and children. I also enjoy essentially all sporting events, but especially watching the Mississippi State Bulldogs.”
