New here? Welcome. 👋

I’ve been filming fresh content lately because I keep hearing the same thing from patients and families…

“I wish I knew this sooner.”
“I didn’t even know I could ask that.”
“I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.”

So this page is going to be simple:

✅ clear explanations (no medical jargon)
✅ honest conversations about what to expect
✅ the questions you should be asking
✅ reminders that you’re not “being difficult” — you’re being informed

If you’re new, tell me this in the comments:
What topic would help you most right now — diagnosis, treatment options, surgery, side effects, or what to ask at your appointment?

Glad you’re here. We’ll take it one step at a time.

Most patients don’t ask these questions… but they really should.

When it comes to your health, the right questions can make all the difference.
I’ve noticed there are a few important ones that often go unasked — things that can change how we approach your treatment, how we plan your care, and even how confident you feel in your next steps.

So today, I’m sharing three questions every patient should be asking their doctor. Because great care starts with a great conversation.

👉 Save this video to ask these questions at your next appointment.

Lung cancer isn’t a “smoker-only” problem.
And that myth is one of the reasons people wait too long to get checked.

If you’ve ever thought: “I don’t smoke, so I’m fine” — I get it. But the reality is: up to 20% of lung cancers can occur in people who have never smoked.

So what else can raise risk?
✅ Secondhand smoke exposure
✅ Radon gas (common, and most people don’t realize it)
✅ Air pollution
✅ Genetics
✅ Occupational exposure (like asbestos, diesel exhaust, and more)

Here’s the part I want you to remember:
📌 Screening before symptoms can save lives.
For people who are considered higher-risk, a Low-Dose CT (LDCT) screening can help detect lung cancer earlier—when treatment options are often more effective.

If you’re not sure whether screening makes sense for you, let’s talk it through based on your history, lifestyle, and any exposures you may have had.

👉 Save this. Share this. It could genuinely help someone you care about.

Happy New Year!
To every patient and family who trusted me with your care this past year — thank you. I don’t take that lightly.

As we step into this new year, my hope for you is simple: peace, health, and the strength to keep showing up for yourself. If you’ve been putting your health on the back burner, let this be your gentle reminder — you deserve to feel your best.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and blessed year ahead.

If you’ve been putting off a lung screening because you feel “fine,” I get it.

But here’s what I tell my patients all the time: feeling okay doesn’t always mean everything is okay. That’s exactly why a Low-Dose CT scan exists — to look for early changes in the lungs before symptoms show up, when we have the most options.

A few things I want you to know:
• It’s quick. The scan takes just a few minutes.
• It’s simple. No needles. No pain. No special prep.
• You’ll be in and out. You lie down, hold your breath for a few seconds, and you’re done.

You may qualify if you:
• Are 50–80 years old
• Have a 20+ pack-year smoking history
• Currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years

And even if you’re not sure, that’s okay — let’s talk about it. My job is to help you make the most informed decision for your health.

📞 To book your screening, call (954) 543-7373 or visit medicuselite.com.

Educational only — not medical advice. Screening eligibility and next steps should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

Robotic-assisted surgery represents an important advancement in modern surgical care.

By combining advanced technology with expert surgical judgment, these procedures are designed to support:
• Smaller, more precise incisions
• Reduced disruption to surrounding tissue
• Shorter recovery times for many patients

At Medicus Elite, care is never one-size-fits-all. Every treatment plan is guided by clinical expertise, thoughtful evaluation, and respect for each patient’s unique journey.

If you’re exploring surgical options, a personalized consultation can help determine whether robotic-assisted surgery may be appropriate for your needs.

At Medicus Elite, healing is never the work of one person—it’s the result of nurses, surgeons, medical assistants, and staff communicating, planning, and caring together.

From the first phone call to post-treatment follow-up, every role matters. Our goal is simple: precise care, clear communication, and compassion in every step so patients and families feel supported, informed, and never alone.

Grateful for the dedicated team that stands united for healing each day.

"Terminal” means we can’t control the disease enough to cure it. But care doesn’t stop—our focus shifts to what matters most: comfort, dignity, symptom relief, and meaningful time. Medicine is more than medicine here; it’s presence, honesty, and support for you and your family.
CTA: If you’re navigating this stage, ask your team about palliative and supportive care services early.

Genes matter, but daily habits matter too. To***co, heavy alcohol use, UV exposure, poor diet, and inactivity can all raise risk. The encouraging part: small, consistent changes compound. Think sunlight protection, balanced nutrition, movement most days, and quitting to***co at any stage. That’s prevention in action.
