Celebrating our Fifth Year!!!!

Featured

Posted on by

Five years ago, I opened a new practice with the goal of  providing the best possible medical care for my patients. I wanted to create an environment that was friendly, personalized and responsive. I wanted my patients to feel confident that their physician listened to them, understood them and offered them his complete attention. To accomplish these goals, I structured a practice that removed time pressure from encounters and allowed me to truly get to know my patients. The results have been phenomenal!

I have been able to build productive relationships with my patients, effectively utilizing prevention technologies and closely monitoring and treating existing illnesses. These last five years have been the most satisfying of my career to date. My patients have provided wonderfully positive feedback as well as referring family members, co-workers and friends. The practice has enjoyed steady growth. I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me. I tremendously value the trust you have placed in me. I look forward to working together for many more years!

Keeping You Active For Life

Posted on by

Why have a blog? Why not — everyone else has one! In 2011, blogging is part of the “standard of care” for expressing one’s thoughts to others. For a physician, a blog can expand the role of individual communication to reach many people with important information regarding health issues. Given the pace of medical change and reporting of medical topics in the media, a blog can offer a “rapid-fire” response method for commenting on the vast flow of medical information that washes over us, as well as disseminating a distinct viewpoint amid a crowded sea of opinions.

My goal is to further the guiding philosophy of my practice. I want all of my patients to live active, productive and happy lives for as long as possible. I strongly believe that maintaining the ability to keep moving and exercising remains a key ingredient in this quest. The blog will prominently feature some of my areas of interest that relate to this objective including sleep and its role in maintaining health, pain relief techniques including acupuncture, as well as novel techniques for keeping the blood vessels healthy to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack and death.

As we begin this journey together, I welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for blog topics. Be forewarned, I cannot practice medicine over the internet.  I will not describe patient cases, nor can I give medical advice to specific individuals. This is a forum for general education, not a substitute for private physician-patient communication. That stated, let’s begin and see what happens…
