Care Philosophy: As a physician, my role is to inform my patients as to what they are doing or not doing to optimize their health. I strongly advocate lifestyle change and exercise over use of prescription drugs. Ultimately, it is the patient's decision as to what will be the care plan for them. There is no one size that fits all in my practice. Every person is seen and treated as an individual. I am currently affiliated with MDVIP which promotes a VALUE IN PREVENTION model however since opening my practice in 2011, I have been proactive and aggressive about preventative care as well as accessible to my patients "on call" 365 days per year since 2011. Many of my patients have followed me over the 20 years I have practiced medicine and have witnessed my unwavering love for helping people live better with age. I truly enjoy empowering people which is often simply by actively listening to their story. My practice and staff are not perfect, but our care is heartfelt and genuine 100% of the time.
