"As one survey found, two out of every three patients are discharged from the hospital without even knowing their diagnosis. Another study discovered that in over 60 percent of cases, patients misunderstood directions after a visit to their doctor’s office."

DO YOU WANT A DOCTOR WHO IS BY YOUR SIDE?

When you or your loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness it is one of the most overwhelming experiences in the world: it is understandably frightening, disorienting, and confusing. As you begin to emotionally process this absolutely terrifying news, your doctor is explaining the disease process, offering treatment options, and trying to help you come to terms with your diagnoses, all within the extremely limited time the appointment provides. Your doctor seems to be speaking a foreign language, a mix of complex medical jargon and a dizzying array of treatment terms that require a PhD to even spell, much less understand! Just when you need to be focused and alert to listen and ask appropriate questions of your doctor, you are in fact stunned by the news you have just received. 

That is when having an experienced physician in your corner can be invaluable: a medical professional who not only understands the disease process and the treatments options, but also has the time and energy to help you truly understand what is happening to you and help with the difficult choices you will be making. As a practicing physician for over 35 years, I have the experience necessary to help you with your medical condition. Do you want a physician by your side who will actively work in partnership with you, your family members, your doctors and other medical professionals? I am here to provide the necessary resources to thoroughly understand your condition and receive the treatment you need and deserve.
