Graduating Class of 2024
Katelyn Carpenter, MD
Undergraduate: Miami University, Ohio
Medical School: Wake Forest School of Medicine
Hometown: Covington, LA
Personal: I am delighted to practice Family Medicine in the Shenandoah Valley. I was born in Louisiana, raised overseas, studied international relations, and served in federal law enforcement before finding my calling in medicine. Family medicine is the perfect specialty for me, I love the variety of patients and the challenge of cultivating a broad foundation in medicine. My husband and I are thrilled to live in the Shenandoah Valley. We enjoy escaping to the mountains, spontaneous weekend road trips with our German Shepherd puppy, and raising an ever-growing flock of chickens!
Warren McGee, MD/PhD
Undergraduate: Columbia University, New York, NY
Medical School: Northwestern University The Feinberg School of Medicine
Hometown: Western Springs, IL
Personal: My life has been marked by bridging diverse experiences. I grew up in a multi-ethnic family, spending most of my childhood between West Virginia and the suburbs of Chicago. In high school, I was struggling to decide between pursuing music or medicine for a career. I studied biochemistry in college, but also got a solid liberal arts education. I straddled the medical and research worlds with my MD/PhD training, with my research project bridging “wet lab” molecular biology with “dry lab” bioinformatics. My wife, young son and I are ecstatic to be here in the Shenandoah Valley. I am looking forward to bringing my research background into family medicine and a community health setting, and learning more about how to integrate lifestyle interventions and data into helping patients manage chronic illness.
Isaac Prince, MD
Undergraduate: Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)
Medical School: Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine
Hometown: Gloucester, VA
Personal: Hey all! I grew up in Gloucester Virginia, and moved to Richmond for undergraduate where I received a bachelor's in chemistry. I then continued my education at VCU for medical school. After 10 years in Richmond (Go Rams!) I decided to move to the Shenandoah Valley to practice the full breadth of family medicine. I look forward to providing affordable, high quality, patient centered care to all generations. I have a particular interest in life-style medicine as well as geriatrics.
Connor Sheehan, MD
Undergraduate: The College of William & Mary
Medical School: Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine
Hometown: Fredericksburg, VA
Personal: I have an amazing wife and a beautiful daughter. We have two dogs and a cat. I drink my coffee black. I prefer rainy days to sunny days and cold days to warmer days. Ice hockey is the greatest sport ever created. I love plants. My wife and I like to garden. I play guitar. Running is my meditation. There is nothing like a good book. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to be a doctor.
Jennifer Voorhees, DO
Undergraduate: Shepherd University, Shepherdstown, WV
Medical School: West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
Hometown: Winchester, VA
Personal: I am from the Winchester area, studied biochemistry at Shepherd College (now University), and then moved to Austin, TX for a research position at MD Anderson. Realizing that bench work isn't for me, I switched gears and went to school for acupuncture where I was able to spend some time in China. I then moved to Upstate New York where I rediscovered my love of mountains and seasons and randomly became a USA Luge official. Deciding to add to my acupuncture skills, I attended West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine to become a family medicine physician.

Medical School: American University of Antigua School of Medicine
Training: Mt. Sinai Ichan School of Medicine Elmhurst Hospital Internal Medicine Prelim
Hometown: Ashburn, VA
Personal: Howdy! I grew up in Fairfax, Virginia throughout my childhood playing basketball and tennis; I idolized Jordan, McEnroe, Sampras, Federer. I eventually moved to Cleveland to study Biochemistry. Dismayed by research I looked for a human connection in medicine. My initial goal was FM, however, I ended up in Queens, NYC as an IM physician during the apex of the COVID 19 pandemic. Currently, with our goals realized, my wife (a Winchester Cardiologist) and my newborn son have finally returned home to Virginia.

where I attended the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I chose

Paulius Mui, MD
Undergraduate: Boston University

Sean Sutphen, DO
Undergraduate: Pensacola Christian College
Medical School: Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine Virginia
Hometown: Herndon, VA
Personal: Going into medical school, my interests were geared towards global medicine. As I learned more about the needs in rural America, I became convinced of the necessity for me to stay and to practice with a local focus but also keep a global perspective. Full spectrum family medicine fits my vision of how I want to practice, and I look forward to honing my medical knowledge and skills here in Front Royal. I enjoy hiking, climbing, and mountain biking.
GRADUATING CLASS OF 2022
Stephanie LaFave, MD
Undergraduate: Tulane University
Graduate: Tulane University School of Medicine
Medical School: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport SOM
Hometown: Asheville, NC
Personal: Growing up in the mountains and after an 11 year run in Louisiana, coming
to the Shenandoah Valley feels like home. I am also very excited to be
practicing Family Medicine in this community where we can see interesting
pathology and stretch our scope of practice to fit the needs of our patients.
I grew up playing golf and continued on scholarship at Tulane but afterward
picked up rugby and hope to squeeze in time for both here, but will definitely
be able to continue my foodie ways and enjoy the delicious cuisine in
the area. Also my husband, Joe, and I have 7 furchildren (dogs) and 1
feather child (Andy the cockatiel) who also enjoy the mountain air, our
yard and sitting on the back porch.
Delmar Martin, MD
Undergraduate: National Autonomous University of Nicaragua
Medical School: National Autonomous University of Nicaragua
Hometown: Denver, Pennsylvania
Personal: I was born in Haiti, raised in central Pennsylvania, and lived most of
my adult life in Nicaragua. This is where I completed medical school and
became a licensed physician, while working with a church planting mission.
The many experiences along the way have broadened my horizons and given
me a desire to serve my fellow man. The broad-spectrum training, the strong
support and drive for excellence that is evident among the faculty, and
of course, the beautiful setting are a few of the many aspects that drew
me to SVFRP. I am honored to be a part of the team and serve the local
community. During time off, I enjoy playing piano and guitar. I also take
pleasure in getting away to the hills to camp and hike. As time allows,
I also like playing volleyball, softball, and racquetball. My greatest
highlight is time shared with my family - my beautiful wife and son.

Julie Shuster, MD

of Global Health at Georgetown. I then went way down south to Grenada
for basic sciences and north to New Jersey for clinicals. Now I am very
excited to be back home in Virginia! I love family medicine for the continuity
of care, the relationship with patients, and treating the whole person.
I have particular interest in women's health and end of life care. Outside
of medicine, I love the food network (and attempting to cook), hiking,
visiting vineyards, and music.
