philosophy:

Health, Wellness and Longevity are things that everyone strives to achieve.  Getting them to coincide and overlap with each other is the hard part.  Diet and exercise are the foundation and bedrock for good health and wellness which can give you the best opportunity to achieve longevity in a way that allows you to enjoy your life.  Diet and exercise alone, however, does not guarantee longevity.

You also need a good partner in a Primary Care Doctor who can help you assess and uncover your hidden risks for cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, risk for heart disease and dementia. All of these things can sneak up on you, seemingly unexpectedly, but the reality is that they develop gradually over your lifetime.  Therefore it is important to see a good doctor who has the time and willingness to discuss your individual risks, how to prevent or minimize these risks, how to screen for the development of these problems, and to manage them when they occur. 

Unfortunately, these days, getting a primary care doctor through your insurance means going to a corporately owned office with central call centers, often a long wait to get an appointment, busy waiting rooms, short office visits that are frequently rushed, no guarantee to see your own doctor, and little time to discuss your individual concerns.

To get a doctor that can make the time for you, address your individual concerns, and discuss your personal health risks, consider a Concierge Doctor.  An individually owned Private Practice will give you more direct access to your doctor when you need it.

I take the time with you to discuss your individual health risks, and what you can do throughout your life to minimize and manage those risks. There are an array of options being marketed to improve your health, but they may not be right for everyone.  I can help you sort through what may work for you, and what can be reasonable to obtain outside of insurance recommendations, while helping you keep up to date with medical guidelines. 

Preventive healthcare is very important to avoid life’s pitfalls. It is much easier to prevent a health problem, rather than to have to treat it after it happens. Having an established relationship with a doctor to help manage those acute illnesses and chronic conditions when they develop is important.
