• Preventing disease, promoting healthy choices, and recognizing personal risks factors for developing disease are critical to maintaining health and longevity.

    It is common for most of us to believe we are healthy and so we do not need to go to the doctor; the reality is we all benefit from regular health maintenance.

    I hope to create a sense of meaning and significance to preventative care and benefit of health screening.

    I offer full health screenings, exams, recommended population based care for men and women and ages 15 years and up.

  • The goal is to prevent chronic illnesses from developing, but when that doesn't happen it is important to reduce the harm and progression of the disease on other crucial systems and organs.

    Some examples: Hypertension/high blood pressure, heart/lung disease and diabetes

    I offer comprehensive chronic care management of these diseases, working with specialists and communicating with outside providers to better serve you and prevent complications/hospitalizations.

  • Treatment for new and acute illness or injury. With weekend and evening availability.

    Physical/mental assessment, lab work, imaging, medication prescription/management, referrals, minor suturing, simple splinting, joint injection, as well as basic procedures such as skin biopsy, cryotherapy, incision/drainage/removal of cysts.

Ways We Can Connect

  • Home Visits

    Home visits are what they seem to be. I travel to your home, a place you reside, or a place you feel most comfortable, that is outside the traditional clinic environment. These are for individuals who may struggle to get into a conventional clinic-based visit, either physically, mentally, or cognitively.

  • Traditional Clinic-Based Visits

    These are traditional clinic-based visits.

    In addition to some regular hours, I offer evening visits on Fridays and Saturday visits to meet the needs of the community.

  • Telehealth Visits

    These visits are available for established patients only. These visits provide an easy and flexible opportunity for simple follow-ups, acute concerns that do not require a detailed physical exam.
