My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

The renowned Johns Hopkins physician Sir William Osler said, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." This encapsulates my philosophy as a doctor. As your personal physician, together we will manage your health in the context of your individual goals and challenges with an emphasis on prevention. 

In my first 3 years of medical practice over 20 years ago, I worked and lived in a small town in western Maryland. My home was a few hundred yards from my office in the hospital; my patients were literally my neighbors. I learned to see my patients not as lab values or medicine lists, but as people. The pace of a small-town medical practice taught me that when physicians take the time to listen, the patients often guide us to the solutions. Our patients' stories matter: it directly relates to their health outcomes. 

During my 16 years practicing in Baltimore before starting as an MDVIP-affiliated physician in Catonsville, I sadly watched the practice of primary care change, emphasizing quantity healthcare rather than delivering the quality health outcomes seen in MDVIP-affiliated practices. It took great effort maintaining the "whole person" care philosophy instilled in me from that small town. 

Joining MDVIP has allowed me to practice healthcare for patients and physicians where we can take the time needed to optimize your health. Together we will methodically and thoroughly address the drivers of health. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. While the COVID pandemic has done immeasurable damage, it reminds us of the great importance of solid patient-doctor relationships and healthy life habits. Personally, I practice mindfulness daily and am working towards running a full marathon. MDVIP's emphasis on personalized preventive care places you in a position to be healthier even when unexpected challenges arise.
