My goal is to provide support, at any age or stage of health, in understanding personal values, life goals, and preferences regarding current and future medical care.

When you call my office during office hours, a dedicated phone number rings directly to my office with no phone trees to navigate or buttons to press, only live people to take your call with a real concern for your health and
well-being.

My personal cell phone number will be provided to you. This allows easy and direct phone communications for urgent medical problems that occur outside of my regular office hours. For emergencies, however, always call 911 first.

Office visits will start promptly, and appointments will be longer than a traditional practice. My goal is to afford you the time to thoroughly address all of your questions and concerns, regardless of the reason for your visit.

Office visits are best scheduled when the full complement of staff is available. However, should you require occasional visits outside of our usual office hours, we will certainly do our best to accommodate you.

Should you need to be hospitalized, I will make sure to communicate with you and to serve as an advocate on your behalf, even when you are admitted to a facility at which I do not have privileges or where I am not your attending physician.

As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, my philosophy is to educate you about the importance of fitness, weight management, and healthy living. In addition to the clinical services that I already offer through my practice, I will assist you to identify and evaluate wellness providers and offerings. This will support your efforts to take an active role in managing and maintaining your good health.
