We provide state-of-the-art, primary medical care to individuals who have difficulty getting to a doctor's office. Medical housecalls allow the physician to become better able to interact with the patient, family, and caregivers by evaluating patients in their normal and natural environment and by developing a more comprehensive sense of physical, social, and psychological needs and possibilities.
The cost of home-based medical care is significantly lower when compared to hospital visits, emergency room procedures, or ambulance transportation. Care management which include house calls have demonstrated the ability to reduce hospital and emergency room admissions and re-admissions, average lengths of stay, and also reduce nursing home admissions.

Home-based primary care allows health care providers to spend more time with their patients, perform assessments in a patient's home environment, and assume greater accountability for all aspects of the patient's care.This focus on timely and appropriate care is designed to improve overall quality of care and quality of life for patients served, while lowering health care costs by forestalling the need for care in institutional settings.

My philosophy of medicine is that the physician is the servant of the patient. I work for you! It is not the duty of the physician to dictate how a patient lives her life but to use the training, knowledge and experience I have gained in order to to advise and assist my patients make the best decisions for achieving their goals in life.
The vaccine for shingles (Zostavax) is recommended for use in people 60 years old and older to prevent shingles. The older a person is, the more severe the effects of shingles typically are, so all adults 60 years old or older should get the shingles vaccine. The shingles vaccine is specifically designed to protect people against shingles and will not protect people against other forms of herpes, such as genital herpes.
