Biography

This is a different medical practice than you may be used to. Here you’ll be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve. We believe that a medical office should be a peaceful and respectful place. We know that no one really likes going to the doctor, so we offer a beautiful practice setting with friendly and helpful staff, complementary refreshments, high-definition TVs in every room, and relaxing music. We believe the patient comes first and that everyone deserves the highest quality of care and customer service possible. We offer the same level of care to you that we would want for ourselves or our own loved ones. We will help you with your forms, referrals and appointments, and also find ways to help you reduce your personal health care costs. We believe in the importance of patient education. Here you will spend as much time with the doctor as you need to and your questions will be answered. We see fewer patients per day so that we can spend more time with you.
