My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My passion as your internal medicine physician is to provide you with personalized healthcare that is patient-centered and proactive. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my training and commitment to staying abreast of leading-edge medical treatments. As a primary care physician, I treat such conditions as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, migraines and most chronic diseases. I also see patients for HIV infection.  

As one of the few primary care doctors in Dallas offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide a level of attention that can help you manage medical conditions and better live the happy, active life you deserve. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. 

My primary care practice is located in Dallas, Texas, and currently serves Addison, Carrollton, Dallas, Highland Park, Irving, Plano, Richardson, University Park and all of North Texas. I also see patients with dual residency in other states including New York, California and Hawaii. I am affiliated with Baylor-Dallas, Texas Health Presbyterian and UT-Southwestern Hospitals.
