"Balanced Physician Care was created to fulfill a need to return to more personalized health care. Advances in health care technology are important, but if they come at the cost of the physician-patient relationship, care has been compromised. In the end, there is no substitute for being seen by a physician with extensive experience who knows you well. You want to and have the right to make your own health care choices. All of us need guidance. My job is to provide the best guidance in these choices and work in partnership with you. Every person deserves to have a partnership with his or her physician. It is this partnership that can make healthcare simple. Current health-care forces have driven a barrier between the doctor and the patient and made the system entirely too complex. It should be and can be much simpler. The value of a primary care physician is in having a “home” for your care - a place where you can return for a valued opinion. As a primary care family physician, I have trained extensively to gain knowledge and expertise in a variety of aspects of health care from sports medicine, to integrative medicine, to acupuncture, to nutrition and exercise, to herbal medications, to viscosupplemenation, to trigger point therapy and cortisone injections, to using mindfulness to reduce stress. All in order to be able to provide you with compressive advice on what your options can be for treatment and prevention. Furthermore, I have worked to find providers who share my philosophy to become part of your advisory team. Any of the providers you may seek care from at this practice are also highly valued for their expertise. Balanced Physician Care wants you to be confident in the care and advice you will receive. We want to be the partner who helps you to navigate the complex waters of health care. I believe in primary care and in health and wellness. Provide Balanced Physician Care with the opportunity to optimize your health, well-being and make you feel great!"
