"At the heart of my passion and practice of medicine is the well being of my patients. I believe one of the essential elements of achieving true well being is to have TIME with you. I wanted to create my “dream” practice - a place where I could work as a teacher, a healer, and a resource for my patients at a pace that is mutually beneficial to us. This motivation is how IdealAccessMD came into existence. I spent many years of my life studying to become a doctor. I never questioned the time I dedicated to studying because I sincerely believe medicine to be my calling in this life. I love what I do! But after practicing in the hospital setting for nearly a decade, I felt that I had drifted away from “why” I became a doctor. From my years of experience in hospital care, I have learned that most people don't just “get sick” overnight. It takes years, even decades, for the body to deteriorate to the point of chronic illness. I realized that if I wanted to help people prevent or reverse chronic illness, I needed to focus my practice in the outpatient world. When I was making the decision to leave inpatient hospital-based medicine, I researched opportunities where I would be able to have the freedom to truly educate and collaborate with my patients. I discovered the Direct Primary Care model and decided to establish a DPC practice in Schaumburg, IL."
