Hi! My name is Patrick Carroll, and I was born and raised in Ventura, California, where I grew up the son of an acupuncturist and a surfing math teacher. From a young age, they both instilled in me a love for knowledge and working with my hands, whether it was rebuilding computers, cooking delicious food, or handcrafting leather shoes. I studied nanoengineering at UC San Diego where I was drawn to the interface of materials science and medicine. After working in the medical device industry as a clinical specialist with Brainlab, I realized that my heart was in direct patient care. I went on to earn my medical degree at California University of Science and Medicine, where I fell in love with surgery.

My clinical interests include abdominal wall reconstruction, trauma, and surgical critical care. Outside of work, I love to spend time outdoors with my beautiful wife and young son, listen to live music, do yoga, pick up heavy things, and keep up with the friends I’ve made along the way. I am incredibly stoked to be joining the General Surgery Residency at MAHEC. I’ve told my wife for years that I’ve always been called to the mountains. I’m excited to train in a place where I can grow as both a surgeon and a person—and call the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains my home.

Hey y’all! My name is Kayden Maddox (they/them) and I’m excited to be returning to my WNC community for my General Surgery Residency. The first part of my life was spent along the Florida Gulf Coast (Bradenton) before moving to Western North Carolina (Fletcher) in middle school. I, then, completed undergrad and medical school at UNC Chapel Hill and have spent the past decade in the NC Triangle soaking up these humid pollen counts and rooting myself in community that fills my cup.

Surgery most definitely found me, and I cannot wait to see where this adventure goes. Being the first in my family to attend college, and seeing this dream come to life has been so surreal to say the least! With interests from trauma/burns to plastics to rural general surgery, my commitment, first and foremost, is to my community and finding ways to best serve them.

Outside the hospital, I’m probably with my doggo, Kornbread, on a trail in the woods, by/on some body of water, or lounging on our porch with a coffee and a good book.

My name is Eduardo Navarro, and I was born in California. I spent most of my early years in Nicaragua, where my parents are from, before moving to Miami at the age of 12, which has been home ever since. I attended the University of Florida for my bachelor’s degree in health science and completed medical school at Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico.

Before medical school, I became interested in burns and trauma through volunteer work with burn patients in Nicaragua and research at the University of Florida. My professional interests include burns and trauma, and I hope to continue working with underserved populations both in the U.S. and abroad.

In my free time, I enjoy learning about the complex relationship between exercise, nutrition, activity, and overall health. You can usually find me lifting weights, attempting to run, pretending I’m Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen, or hiking through the mountains of North Carolina.

I am confident that training in General Surgery with MAHEC will provide the hands-on experience, mentorship, and patient exposure I need to become a well-rounded surgeon. I’m looking forward to the next 5 years in Asheville.

I grew up just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, and stayed close to home for undergrad and medical school at Campbell University. It didn’t take long for me to realize surgery was the right path—I’ve always loved working with my hands, solving complex problems, and being part of a team that supports patients through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

During my rotation at MAHEC, what stood out most wasn’t just the strength of the surgical training but the program's culture. Every person I met—from residents to attendings—was kind, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in helping each other grow. I felt supported, challenged, and welcomed all at once, and that kind of community is precisely what I was hoping to find in a residency.

Outside of medicine, I love being outdoors and active. I’ve always dreamed of living in the mountains, and Asheville feels like the perfect fit. Whether golfing, hiking, rafting, or trying a new recipe on the smoker, I’m happiest when outside or spending time with my wife. We’re both excited to make Asheville home, explore the trails, and discover new spots to eat (we haven’t had a bad meal here yet!). I’m incredibly grateful to be at MAHEC and can’t wait for what’s ahead.

Hello! My name is Bo Wiseman, I was born and raised in Western North Carolina about an hour west of Asheville in a small town called Cullowhee. I attended Western Carolina University (WCU) for my undergraduate degree in Environmental Health. After graduating from WCU I began medical school at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC. I always knew I wanted to return to Western North Carolina and had an interest in surgical training at MAHEC since I began medical school. MAHEC is an ideal place for me and my family as I will be living and training in the community, I have grown up in and become so fond of. This opportunity means the world to me, and I cannot wait to get started!

Outside of the hospital you can find me spending time with my wife Karanda, our husky Koda, and our cat Isaac, enjoying the many breweries Asheville has to offer, playing golf, and enjoying nature through fishing and hiking.
