My passion as a family physician is to provide you personalized healthcare with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. In my MDVIP- affiliated practice, you will be treated as a member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You will benefit from the full extent of my education, experience and understanding. I am a testicular cancer survivor who has encountered medicine from both sides of the examination table. Enduring surgery and chemotherapy, along with the challenges of the health care system, helps me to be more empathetic to your health concerns. Being able to spend more quality time together attending to your individual medical needs is why I chose this style of practice.
My wife, three teenage daughters and I love this community. We enjoy dining out, relaxing on the beach, riding the bike trails and walking around town together. Those who know me see the importance that family and instruction play in my daily life. Whether it is teaching one daughter to drive or another how to field a bunt, being able to share my knowledge to help them succeed is rewarding. Practicing best medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient – a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with patients, which allows me to perform more comprehensive exams and be a better diagnostician. Additionally, it provides us an opportunity to devise a treatment plan to achieve your goals. All of this equates to greater outcomes and longer, happier and healthier lives. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
