Patients Seen: Ages 18+

I believe com­mu­ni­ca­tion, active patient par­tic­i­pa­tion and empa­thy are impor­tant for good med­ical care. I seek to under­stand each patien­t’s unique cir­cum­stances and include them in the deci­sion process when deter­min­ing a treat­ment plan.

Qual­i­ty mat­ters when it comes to sup­ple­ments. Whether you’re new or expe­ri­enced with sup­ple­ments, trust­ed, qual­i­ty options can sup­port your immu­ni­ty, heart health, and nutri­ent intake. Duly has part­nered with Fullscript, offer­ing access to high-qual­i­ty sup­ple­ments deliv­ered direct­ly to your door. Ask your provider about Fullscript and our exclu­sive dis­counts at your next visit.
