Why a Solo Micro Medical Practice?
                                                                                                                        I opened my solo micro Family Medicine practice to be able to offer slow medicine. What do I mean by "slow"? Both as an employed physician and as a patient, I have experienced mainstream medicine to resemble an assembly line form of care. Patients who are motivated to understand why they have a medical problem, rather than just wanting a pill to solve the problem, often need longer appointments than typical 10-20 minute visits. Longer visits which can be up to 60 minutes or longer, allow more holistic healing and future health success.

No long waits in a waiting room. Personal access to my cell phone and prompt answering to emails.

Since the 1990's I have been commuting by bicycle year round and in my free time I am an avid outdoor adventurer. I also enjoy yoga, meditation, foraging wild foods and eating lots of yummy vegetables.
