My Philosphy of Family Medicine & Family Practice:

Family Medicine is the modern expression of the traditional generalist healthcare principles that once formed the foundation of American medicine. I like many of those old-fashion views. When you say: “I think I need to see a doctor,” you should not worry about how to access a complex, specialty-oriented healthcare system. You should simply start with YOUR family doctor. Who has broad medical knowledge. Who knows you. Whom you trust. And, with whom you have a personal relationship.

As we sometimes say in medicine, “common problems are common.” As a long-time Family Physician and an expert in the common problems of health care, I can usually take care of you fully and successfully without the assistance of a healthcare specialist. If you do need a medical specialist, the doctors I know, trust—and will refer you to—are people you can trust as well.
