“Health is more than treating disease.”
Bringing prevention & wellness back into healthcare.
Practice Philosophy
Tired of being rushed through medical appointments? I personalize each visit, giving you the time and attention you deserve. I believe that spending more time with my patients is essential to providing good medical care. I provide an alternative to high-production, hamster-wheel-style practices, by scheduling visits that are longer and more relaxed. I especially enjoy educating my patients about the prevention and treatment of their medical disorders and health conditions. And I take pleasure in helping my patients work toward their wellness goals.
Primary Care Basics
I am a board-certified family physician with many years of experience in family medicine and primary care. As such, I treat most medical conditions. I provide primary care for acute and chronic ailments, offer preventative advice, educate patients about their health conditions, and refer patients to specialists as needed. Besides providing primary care for my patients, I have special interests in women’s health, skin conditions, sports medicine, fitness and nutrition as well as preventative and alternative approaches to optimizing health.
Integrative Medicine
In addition to a medical degree and a residency in family medicine, I have received advanced training from the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, founded by Andrew Weil, MD, at the University of Arizona. As an integrative family physician, I embrace therapies from both the conventional and alternative medical fields and enjoy collaborating with patients to find the right treatment mix for them. I also have a broad referral network of medical specialists and alternative providers I can call upon to help meet my patients’ needs.
