I am a board certified physician assistant with an extensive career of 40 years of clinical experience. Thus, I am able to navigate the tedious ins-and-outs of the day-to-day, mundane jargon of the medical world—to decipher and guide you in your healthcare journey, so that you can become an informed and knowledgeable patient.
Unfortunately, the health care profession has become an institution that does not grant the time and personal care of yesteryear. In order to comprehend how to take care of oneself—all your needs—and also to get a diagnosis efficiently, you need to ask the proper questions. This is where I can be of value and assistance.
Since I have been both a hospital and office based clinician for many years, I can simplify medical terminology and communicate in a language that any non-medical person will be able to grasp and digest properly. The ultimate goal is for me to put you at ease.
The unknown is a fear everyone can understand.
When it comes to one’s health, it can be very overwhelming and frightening. Let me be the me to help you circumvent and navigate this process in order for you to calm your nerves.
Yours,
