Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many of you and your families. It’s been such an honor to be your physician and to share in your quest for a healthy, active life.

As you know from personal experience, our healthcare system has become increasingly complex. From my perspective as an experienced physician, the many changes underway in healthcare continue to place new pressures on the patient-physician relationship.

After much reflection and soul-searching, I’m excited to implement a structure that more fully allows me to live into my longstanding beliefs about medical care—medicine that listens carefully, walks alongside patients through every season of life, and treats each person as more than a diagnosis. To do this well, I’ve decided to devote the next phase of my medical career to caring for a smaller group of patients, allowing for deeper attention, availability, and partnership.

We’ll work together, in true partnership, to further optimize your well-being. An important step in this process will be the development of your personalized wellness plan. We’ll meet to review the results of your examination and testing, identify areas of focus, and craft a plan tailored specifically for you. We’ll then work together to ensure that this plan is realistic, sustainable, and truly supportive of your health.

I’ll continue to bill your insurance company for covered medical services. I look forward to partnering with you on your ongoing journey toward optimal well-being and quality of life, and I hope you’ll consider joining me in this next chapter.
