I treat patients the way I would like to be treated. What ails one person may not have the same root cause as someone else although his or her symptoms may appear similar. That is primary reason I spend the time getting to know the concerns and issues a patient may have. The current allopathic medical model tends to pigeonhole symptoms into a diagnosis that is convenient and then forces it to fit into the insurance model of one-diagnosis fits all with a generic pill or two to fix it.

Contrary to that model, I listen to the patient, ask the pertinent questions and educate them on their condition. I then create a health plan with the patient that educates and empowers. When necessary, I work with other quality, alternative as well as conventional practitioners that I trust to make sure the patient receives what they need in order to heal.

I want patients to see me as a resource in empowering them to obtain and maintain optimal health. This is why I am continually furthering my education in Nutrition, Age Management Medicine, Functional Medicine and Mind-Body Wellness.
