Practicing good medicine begins with developing a close doctor-patient partnership based on mutual trust and respect; one that is earned, not given. As a primary care physician, I feel it is most important to take the time to develop a close relationship with each of my patients, to carefully review medical records and to perform comprehensive exams. I have special interest and extensive experience in cardiovascular health, Type II diabetes, high blood pressure management, osteoporosis, and especially in preventive medicine. I have also been recognized as a “Top Doc” by my peers in the Valley. My goal is to work closely with each of my patients and their families to create a personalized health plan, to treat current health problems and, just as importantly, prevent new ones.
