My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

As an internist and geriatrician, I place immense value on patient-centered, holistic healthcare. I am passionate about exploring how lifestyle, genetics and medicine interact to impact a patient's health. I collaborate with my patients and their caregivers to develop a personalized plan to help improve individual health status and well-being. I have dedicated interests in women’s health, nutrition and geriatric assessment. I am double board-certified in internal medicine and geriatric medicine.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, which go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I will advocate for my patients when they are hospitalized. I aim to provide same-day office visits and even house calls, when appropriate, for the best possible care experience.
