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.

It's the lifestyle


“Civilization” takes a toll

(copied from bellybillbord.com)

It’s what we eat and don’t eat
It’s the cigarettes we smoke
It’s the exercise we don’t do
It’s the weight we didn't lose
It’s the extra alcohol we drink

More than 40% of premature deaths in the USoccur because of faulty lifestyles.
I believe that almost 50% of the cost of today’s medical care can be eliminated by changing our lifestyles, so that we need less medical care.

The decision is yours...
