Practice Philosophy
Striving to take the hassles out of going to the doctor, and empowering patients to make the best health care choices. Patients are treated with respect and dignity and are essential participants in their care.
You don’t like going to the doctor because your appointments take to long to schedule. You feel rushed through and no one takes the time to explain things in terms you can understand. It's important to me that we overcome any barriers preventing you from achieving your best possible health and getting the medical care you need. Established patients may have same or next day appointments that will start on time. I will personally follow-up on test results and discuss them with you in an appropriate format. This is a more personalized care that focuses on your needs. How may I help you? My insurance covers whatever specialist care or test I want. Care from a Nurse Practitioner adds to the care you may be receiving from your physician or specialist. As a Nurse Practitioner I see you as a "whole person"-- not just a collection of parts and problems. I would like to help you make the best decisions regarding your health given the barrage of conflicting opinions from a variety of sources. I’m healthy as a horse and I never go to doctors. If you allow yourself the opportunity for a comprehensive annual physical exam, during which time we can discuss any health care concern you may have. Also screening for modifiable risk factors may help raise your awareness for things to watch out for down the road. Also, if you happen to get sick or injured wouldn’t it be nice to have a trusted health care provider who knows your physical and psychological baseline? This could spare you significant unnecessary testing and referrals down the road, saving you time and money. Because your health is your most valuable asset this one simple step can afford you a level of protection that would serve you well for years to come. An annual physical exam will explore all the key aspects of your health and well-being. Many people depend on your vitality, and your vitality allows you to enjoy life. If you feel healthy now consider yourself ahead of the curve, and if you are not as healthy as you would like consider this your call to action.
