"As your advocate, my goal is to provide you with the tools and information needed to optimize your complete health, including mental, physical and spiritual health. I encourage open communication with my patients, including their input on their health issues and possible alternative treatment plans. When end life issues arise, as a Medical Director of Hospice and Palliative Care, I am a very strong advocate of comfort care. I have access to the support systems available to help my patients and their families at this difficult time."
I treat many ailments including: diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, vascular disease, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, COPD, emphysema, GERD, peptic ulcer disease, thyroid problems, and more. I also perform cyrotherapy, simple skin biopsies, removal of lesions, incision & drainage of abscesses, trigger point injections and trigger finger injections on a regular basis. We offer many testing modalities right in our office such as EKGs, pulmonary function testing, peripheral artery disease screening and urinalysis.
We also offer medical aesthetics including laser hair removal, photo rejuvenation, and Botox and fillers.
