The cornerstones of Family Medicine have always been treating the whole person and promoting disease prevention through a healthy lifestyle. These beliefs have always been the focus of my practice for the past 25 years. As an MDVIP family physician, I am able to continue my life passion with these principles at the forefront. 

Fifteen years ago I was overweight with metabolic abnormalities that were the precursors to diabetes and heart disease. With diet and exercise, I was able to achieve and maintain an ideal body weight with normalization of my lab tests and have strived to do the same with my patients. As a result of my personal experience I have special medical interests in weight management, nutrition, diabetes and cardiovascular health. In addition to promoting a healthier lifestyle, I have also cared for many patients with multiple, complex medical problems over the years. These patients need the time and focus that my MDVIP practice will allow.

As your personal physician, I will be able to focus on all of your current medical needs and, through promotion of a healthier lifestyle, to help prevent new health problems from developing. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. As a team, we will strive to improve your health status, reduce your reliance on medications and help you attain your lifestyle goals.
