A Primary Care Practice That Caters to Busy People
For Steve, a lawyer with a busy professional life, having a doctor who has the ability to help him on his schedule is important. He also feels it’s important that his doctor knows him.
When you have a child, and you're looking for schools for your children, one of the first questions you ask is, "What's the class size?" And you want the smallest class size for the most attention to your child. I sort of apply the same notion with my doctor. I want my doctor to know me. I want him to have familiarity with me as a patient, and things that are important to me.
I'm a lawyer. I have a very busy professional life. My hours are from early in the morning until oftentimes late into the evening. His practice caters to busy people, busy professionals, in a sense that his schedule works around my schedule more so than I always have to work around his schedule.
Supporting my patients as they pursue optimal health is my goal! My patients and I can work as a team, and I can act as your coach, advising you of healthier options. You, as my patient, can feel more empowered to execute behaviors to help you reach your goals. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I can discuss with you where you are now and apply my experience and our tools to develop an individualized plan to follow as you work to optimize your health. We can continue to evaluate your progress and adjust as needed. I support patients in being proactive rather than reactive, as seems to be prevalent in today’s medicine.
My experience in the military gave me a unique perspective. Surrounded by young healthy service members and traveling to different cultures, I’ve seen what optimal health can be. As a primary care physician with over 20 years’ experience, I have seen cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal psychological and even cancer patients. I believe many issues can respond better to earlier attention; that’s why I find value in the annual Wellness Program, a key aspect of my MDVP affiliation, comprised of screenings that can identify certain risk markers. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screening and diagnostics test, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer same- or next-day appointments.
I see patients in my South Reno, NV, practice, and patients come from northeast Sparks to Carson City, and Truckee, CA to Winnemucca.
