Tell us a bit about your working style. 

“I deliberately include customer service in my working style and I’m happy to say that this results in a completely unique experience for my patients. Prospective patients are interviewed by me over the phone prior to their Executive New Patient Consultation. During the consult, there are no interruptions and there is no waiting (I don’t even have a waiting room). I listen carefully, perform a detailed physical exam, explain each test result, and thoroughly discuss the patient’s problems and treatment options. Patient understanding is of utmost importance to me, so I do a lot of patient education, answer all questions and concerns, and provide clear, written recommendations. An initial appointment usually takes two hours—but if four hours are needed then I am with you for four hours. Follow-up is accomplished in a relaxed and convenient environment, whether by phone, e-mail, or in-person. And because I don’t accept insurance, I can focus on the one-on-one, confidential, and personalized care that my patients deserve.”

What is the typical treatment for your patients?

“I treat the causes underlying my patients’ complaints; I don’t just cover the symptoms. Typical treatment recommendations consist of nutrition optimization, detoxification, exercise, moderate sun exposure, sleep, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to youthful levels, when indicated.”
