Specialties - Family Medicine
Family Medicine is a specialty that focuses on the individual in a psychosocial context. I see this as meaning that I treat YOU, not just your heart, joints, and lab tests. I try to consider a person's health issues in the context of their whole life, their family, their work and the emotional stresses that go along with living. I believe a good Primary Care Doctor is the the Coach/Captain of your Health Care Team. When needed, I can call in Sub-specialists in a variety of fields to help maximize our results. My training and Board Certification began in Family Medicine and I've been recertified twice since then. I have focused on retaining the knowledge, skill base, and perspective of a Family Physician. This allows me to perform preventative, annual, and pre-operative physicals, admit you to the hospital when needed, and do procedures like freezing a mole or biopsying a growth.
