I would be honored to be your physician, and I’m committed to providing you with the best care that I can. My hope is that we form a partnership to keep you as healthy as possible, no matter what your current state of health. We want everyone to be involved in our health maintenance program. Everyone who joins our practice will start by having a complete history and physical exam, followed by a preventive medicine evaluation with assessment of family/social history and personal risk factors. Afterwards, a plan for periodic surveillance to check for your specific higher risk medical conditions/diseases will be suggested (at least annually). Once your care is established with me, please call our office for acute illness as needed, and my team will do our best to provide same day strep, flu and urinalysis tests, as appropriate to your symptoms. Please call before you see a specialist for a problem we may be perfectly capable of handling in our office: women’s health issues, skin exams, sports physicals, joint injections, skin biopsies, small lacerations or minor injuries. In extenuating circumstances, arranging a home visit for an elder or those with acute transportation issues is not out of the question after clinic hours. I look forward to working with you as your family doctor/Medical Home. It’s my hope that we can have a relationship where the lines of communication are open, where your medical care is accessible and cost effective; where it is all about you.
