About My Practice

Below are a few of the many benefits you will receive as a member of my concierge medicine practice.

“The practice of medicine is an art, based on science.”
– Sir William Osler, MD 1849-1919

Timely Office Visits

You will normally be able to see me on the same day or within 24 hours of your call. Your appointment time will be honored and you will be seen promptly, in an unhurried fashion. I intend to ensure there will be ample opportunity to address your medical needs at each visit. In general, your annual wellness exam will be 60 minutes and all other office visit appointments will be 30 minutes in length.

Direct communications to me during office hours (and after!)

During office hours, my staff will answer your calls directly and will assist you with your needs. I encourage my patients to call with any questions or concerns regarding their health. If consultation with me is needed and I am unable to take your call immediately, I will return your call promptly. After office hours or on weekends and holidays, you will be able to reach me directly on my cell phone for urgent issues at any time of the day or night whether you are at home or traveling.

With rare exceptions you will always be seen by me

When you come in for an appointment, you are seen by me and I am in charge of your care. During my occasional absences from the office, a trusted colleague will be available for urgent issues.

Extended office hours

Office visits are best scheduled during normal office hours when the full complement of staff is available. However, should you require occasional visits outside of my traditional office hours, I will do my best to accommodate you.

Extending my care and attention

Should a family member or friend become ill during a visit to the area, I will be happy to assist them with prompt medical care as though they were a member of my practice.

Friendly Technology

We are fortunate to have at our fingertips other modes of communication besides a traditional telephone. I will offer my patients the option for more convenient direct communication through email and cell phone.

Proactive wellness

I will focus on prevention and wellness, not just taking care of you when you are ill. My definition of wellness encompasses fitness, nutrition and emotional well-being. I recognize for those who truly value their health, having a physician as your advocate is the ideal doctor-patient relationship. As my patient, you will receive an expanded Annual Comprehensive Wellness Evaluation, which will be the cornerstone of your personalized wellness plan, created to keep you feeling your best. I will be able to provide you with relevant educational information that will help you understand your role in this partnership.

Peace of Mind

As a member of my concierge medicine practice you can expect to receive the same high standard of care I have always delivered to my patients. You will continue to receive my honest, compassionate and heartfelt dedication to your individual needs. The difference? You will receive more of it.
