My journey toward becoming a doctor was profoundly shaped by my older brother, Frank, who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. I vowed to find a cure for his condition, though science has yet to deliver such a solution. However, in Frank’s courageous battle, I witnessed an unwavering mindset that inspired me deeply. Our lives became a testament to defying the odds.

With 36 years of experience as a physician, I have honed a diverse array of skills. My roles have included serving as Section Chief of Geriatrics at Liberty Medical Center/Bon Secours, overseeing medical record reviews for care appropriateness, and developing collaborative medical practices from the ground up. Additionally, I’ve taught and mentored interns, residents, and nurse practitioners in Family Medicine, established and managed private practices and businesses, and helped mentor and coach others in medical careers and start-ups.

Throughout my career, I have encountered frustration, discouragement, and fear in both patients, colleagues and sometimes myself. By adopting a holistic approach, I have been able to assist many individuals grappling with their health. Navigating the increasingly complex healthcare system, I strive to address each person’s unique needs with compassion and dedication, showing them how to advocate and pilot their own course to optimized health.

Every individual requires a tailored strategy for success. While guidelines provide a framework, true wisdom lies in customizing solutions to achieve desired outcomes. My approach focuses on uncovering the root causes of health issues and addressing them comprehensively. This method has led to significant improvements in health, including symptom relief and, in some cases, complete eradication of disease.

Many patients have found relief from the burdens of navigating a convoluted healthcare system. They have regained their voices, trust, and comfort through a plan that once seemed daunting. My own experiences with these challenges have deeply informed my practice and advocacy.

There is always a path to better health. It begins with acknowledging the problem, recognizing the need for change, and either implementing that change ourselves or finding someone who can guide us through it. Effective health management requires a perspective that considers the spiritual aspects of the individual, family, and community well-being. Prevention, often overlooked in today’s healthcare landscape, is crucial. By taking responsibility and accountability for our wellness, we can ignite meaningful change.

This is our mission: to advocate for and empower individuals in their health journey, to ensure their voices are heard, and to guide them toward the best possible outcomes. This platform exists to support and champion that mission, rooted in personal experience and a commitment to compassionate care.
