General Info

My practice is different from other primary care practices because it revolves entirely around your health, your goals, your needs. My affiliation with MDVIP keeps my practice small, which allows me to spend more time with you and give you the personal attention you deserve. We can actually get to know each other and work as equal partners to reach your wellness goals and help prevent long-term illnesses. See all the ways membership can benefit you I invite you to experience healthier living as a member of my personalized healthcare practice my Approach to Your Wellness My philosophy is to approach each patient as a unique individual with his or her own set of needs medically and emotionally. I feel it is important to know my patients well, spent time listening to them and work out solutions to medical problems in partnership with patients. Despite all the complex technology and testing available to help with diagnosis and treatment I feel that the foundation of care is based in a history obtained from the patient and information from examining the patient. Nothing replaces seeing a patient face to face. It is important for patients to understand their conditions and have their questions answered. It is also important for me to communicate to patients the results of diagnostic testing. Using a combination of history taking, physical exam, diagnostic workups and communication in partnership with the patients I strive to meet their medical needs. Having faced my own struggles with weight issues in the past, I appreciate the importance of a healthy lifestyle. I do regular cardiovascular exercise, weight training and yoga. I also try to eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and maintain a healthy weight. I am very enthusiastic about explaining to patients how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am also very understanding with patients who struggle with their personal weight issues and will try to work with them in improving their lives.
