"As an internist, I look at myself as an important advisor to my patients. I believe in having a partnership with each of them, helping them to be healthy, and doing whatever I can to keep them on the road to health and long life. I believe that many illnesses are preventable when addressed quickly and proactively, and not necessarily always with medication.
I recognize and appreciate the fact that there are other health care providers with skill sets in the care of the “whole patient” that I do not personally provide. I am grateful to have friendships and affiliations with naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and nutritionists that help me to provide the most comprehensive spectrum of care to each of my patients.
For patients with chronic pain and a variety of other medical conditions, conventional medications often cause intolerable side effects. I am intrigued by the promise of medical cannabis as a more natural alternative. Feel free to ask me questions about this fascinating topic."
