I really enjoy helping others as they pursue their health and fitness goals. Our MDVIP-affiliated practice focuses on prevention and wellness by emphasizing what I believe are the key components of healthier living: physical activity/strengthening, plant-based nutrition/plant-heavy diet, adequate sleep/good sleep habits and the growth and development of satisfying interpersonal relationships. Regular exercise and plant-heavy nutrition are part of my life, not just occupational topics. I’m a triathlete and love a long-distance challenge. As a musician, too, I like to encourage patients to embrace their creative side.
As a board-certified internal medicine physician, I honor my Osteopathic Oath to pursue life-long learning. Whether in prevention, diabetes, hypertension, mental health, pain management, medical acupuncture, manual therapy or medical leadership, I work to bring to my practice current and integrative knowledge. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I have been on the medical staff of AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Hinsdale and UChicago Medicine Advent Health La Grange since 1997 and continue to help care for my patients who require hospitalization, nursing home/rehabilitation stays or house calls. We aim for personalized service and responsiveness to patient needs to be our top priorities.
