My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I have a special interest in stress reduction, which affects all aspects of a person’s life, as well as many disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, gastro-intestinal problems and sleep. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. My primary care practice has served the Dripping Springs and Austin areas for the last 23 years, which has also given me extensive experience treating seasonal allergies.
