My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
With nearly 25 years of practicing medicine in the community, I have relationships with many specialists to help with you and your unique needs. I may be an internal medicine doctor, but I also have interests in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. I have gone from a physician that was trained to cure your illness and tackle your diseases to one who recognizes that true health comes from preventing disease from developing.
