"I have wanted to be a physician as long as I can remember. Every day I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue this lifelong calling. However, what we have all come to value most – the ability to form a deeply personal physician-patient connection – is rapidly becoming impossible in today’s healthcare environment. Adhering to insurance restrictions with an ever-vigilant eye on the clock is the new reality, continually eroding the most critical component of primary care. Establishing a strong relationship with patients is the essence of good medicine. Taking the time to talk, and really listen, to each patient is the only way to thoroughly address all aspects of care. The opportunity to ask the right questions virtually always enables us to discover the right answers. As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, my philosophy is to educate you about your personal medical needs and risks. I will work with you to assess your level of fitness and emotional well-being, and determine an appropriate personal wellness plan that fits with your goals. I have expertise in both traditional medicine as well as alternative treatments. This will allow you a wide variety of treatment options and an opportunity for you to take an active role in managing and maintaining your best health."
