My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My goal is to have the ability to provide my patients ongoing quality care and not have to sacrifice quality for quantity. Making the change to MDVIP will allow me more time for consultation and particularly provide more education to my patients about their health and how to stay healthy and improve the quality of their lives. Early detection and prevention continue to be paramount and will be the important part of my practice moving forward. As I often say, a pound of prevention prevents a ton of trouble.
