Louisiana Roots, Chicago Rhythm

When he is not in the exam room, Dr. Knight maintains the same easygoing approach that defines his clinical practice. An enthusiast of mechanics and melody, he can often be found working on cars or playing one of several instruments. His love for exploration frequently takes him traveling, though he is always happy to return home to Chicago and his two cats, who, by his own admission, make the executive decisions at the house.
