Taking Care of Little Things Now Sets Up the Future
Craig, a busy 40-something feels like the care he’s receiving in his MDVIP-affiliated practice is setting him up for a healthy future. Little issues are being taken care of now so they don’t become big issues later on.
What I see in the future is a healthier future. I feel comfortable and very excited about knowing that I, when I'm 75 years old, 80 years old, 90 years old, I can still not quite do the things I'm doing now but I can still live a healthy lifestyle.
And all of it is due to the care that I'm getting right now because there's really no question where I stand from a health perspective at this point. If there are little issues, I know I'm working on those little issues. If there are little issues those have already been identified through my physical exams. So, my outlook for the future, health wise, is very promising.
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.
