Primary Care Services: We provide primary care services for everyone 16 years of age and older. We do not provide gynecologic or obstetric care. We provide care between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm in the office and outside of these times in local hospitals and care facilities. Patients that benefit most from our services are those with complex and chronic medical problems who wish to have a central figure in charge of directing their health care. This is often a great asset for those with multiple medical problems who otherwise receive piecemeal care at several different sub-specialty offices.
Although we work closely with many sub-specialists in the area we do not see our role as being a referral service. We provide a wide array of services in our office. This centralized care reduces redundancy and allows us to often reduce and eliminate overlapping medications. Our philosophy is to reduce interventions, medications and procedures by taking a fresh look at problems every time and relying on good habits and diet to achieve long term improvements in health.
We have open hours every day for drop in appointments for established patients. This provides our patients with access to their provider every day of the week for urgent medical problems. This is not a great benefit to healthy individuals who need urgent care services once a year. However, for those with complicated medical problems having access to their providers is an invaluable service.
In addition, our services are invaluable for those trying to maintain health long term who are confused by the overwhelming volume of seemingly contradictory medical literature. We help people maintain good health while avoiding excess medications or supplements.
