Concierge Practice, Individualized Care, Evidence-Based Medicine.

My personal and professional aim is to form a patient-doctor relationship that improves your health and quality of life. That relationship is more than a service or commodity and the value of it is measured by your health and well-being over time.

The structure of my practice is designed to afford us both the time necessary to get to know you, to understand your medical history, and to understand what you value most in a successful relationship with your doctor and the healthcare system. While health insurance of some type remains a necessity for most people, it is almost unfeasible for good physicians to devote the vital time to thoroughly address a patient’s needs while relying on insurance reimbursement to cover the operating costs of a primary care medical practice. In our model, the nuance of excellent care is not lost in the bureaucracy of medicine. And we aren’t required to waste time and resources proving it to for-profit insurers. You and I will work together to achieve your goals.

When I become your doctor, we will set a first two-hour appointment to learn your medical history and conduct a physical examination. I will compile your medical records and test results from your other doctors and/or institutions and create a plan to address your ongoing medical conditions as well as create a preventative care plan. We will schedule follow-up appointments regularly that fit your schedule -- and are able to conduct them virtually on-line if needed. I will also coordinate your care with existing sub-specialists and make new referrals as needed. You can expect a full hour at least once a year for an annual physical exam.

My practice keeps the number of visits each day low so that the work behind the scenes to coordinate your care can be done thoughtfully and thoroughly. It also allows time for follow-up phone calls and to address new or urgent issues. At night, on weekends, or holidays, you can call me.
