I have been a board-certified, internal medicine physician since 1998. Over those many years, I have cared for thousands of patients in just about every potential setting and have seen almost everything/anything that can happen. It has been a privilege to do what I do, and a humbling education that only time and experience could achieve. It has transformed me into a skilled clinician and has taught me countless lessons about people, health and our healthcare system. 

That experience has convincingly taught me that being a good doctor and giving good advice takes time, time to listen and understand what is happening and to explain what should be done and why.  

I have chosen to devote myself to personalized healthcare with a focus on prevention. I want to see people on the fewest medications possible, prevent diseases that can be avoided and improve existing health problems. I also want to continue to be a resource and a comfort to my patients. I want to practice medicine the way it used to be, when a doctor was a trusted partner in peoples’ desire for a healthy and fulfilling life. 

By affiliating with MDVIP and limiting my practice to a smaller panel of patients, I can devote enormous time and energy to be the doctor my patients need me to be and the doctor they deserve. My partnership with MDVIP has given me the tools and infrastructure I need to be that doctor. The advanced “early detection” screenings  MDVIP offers, along with their extensive library of nutritional and wellness information, aligns beautifully with my goal to prevent problems before they happen. Their network of national experts also allows me to offer the most advanced and up to date specialists for any complicated issues that may occur. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. It is an exciting collaboration. 

I invite you to join me in a partnership to work towards achieving the healthiest version of you possible. Let’s work together to better prevent what we can and treat what we need to with compassion, humanity and a common- sense approach aligned with your goals and your priorities. That is what medicine used to be. That is what it can be.
