About Me

My photo
My practice motto has been "we help you live a longer, healthier life..." I’ve been in private practice 35 years, and in the last 25 years have placed great, and ever increasing, emphasis on prevention. I practice preventive care by first identifying health risk factors (the factors which predispose you to disease) and then developing the best strategy to minimize or eliminate these risks. Special diagnosis and treatment tracks in my office include asthma, COPD, high cholesterol and obesity, and diabetes.I now place special emphasis on the provision of truly affordable health care to all, including patients with HSA's, high co-pays, and high deductibles.

New Year's resolutions revisited

.
I hope you were able to stick to your health-related New Year's resolutions. I didn't make any, so I'm absolved.

The three most common and important health-related resolutions are: weight loss (or weight control), increasing physical activity/exercise, and smoking cessation. Have you done your share? Most Americans forget about their resolutions by the end of January. Don't let it happen to you.
