My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I believe any good doctor-patient relationship begins with listening and communication. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have the time I need to forge close relationships with my patients in a calm, highly personalized manner and act as their advocate, helping them navigate the increasingly complex healthcare system. 

You are unique, and as such, your medical goals and needs are also unique. Together, we can discuss, plan and coordinate a wellness journey designed specifically for you. I recognize the importance of patients being active participants in their medical decisions. By bringing you a personalized healthcare approach, we can work closely together to help you achieve the good health and peace of mind you deserve. I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with extensive experience treating chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep disorders with an emphasis on nutrition, fitness, preventive medicine and heart health. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

My primary care practice serves patients in the central Palm Beach County area including Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Green Acres, Atlantis, South Palm Beach, Manalapan, Hypoluxo, Palm Springs, Lake Clark Shores, Wellington and Boynton Beach. I am an attending physician at JFK Medical Center, and I firmly believe it is in the best interest of my patients to be treated by the physician who knows them best when hospitalized – that’s me!

I am an 80 year old resident of Wellington, FL. It was just 3 years ago this May that I fainted in my bathroom from a vasal-vegal problem. My head hit the tile floor and my wife called 911 to take me to the JFK Hospital. There, I was given several tests not showing any significant problems. I was released in 2/3 days. For the next 4 weeks, I experienced 3 hour headaches daily. Dr Heron advised… See more
