Is A Waiting Room Needed?
We know it is not (needed).
It is not comfortable, or private, or convenient.
Sometimes you don’t want to be seen, and that’s especially so when you are mulling over a health issue.
My Approach
Three decades of medical practice has shown me how anxious the average person is about health issues. Often, this anxiety is more damaging to your health than the underlying disease.
My goal:
- Listen to you
- Give you a reassuring working diagnosis
- Describe a confident plan
- Inform you of what happens next.
Continuity
The most important thing is our relationship. It will develop over time. I will earn your trust by dignifying your fears. Our relationship will be continous because you are changing. You aren’t a piece of stone. The biology of your body changes with time. Together, we will attend to those changes. Medicine is limited in its ability to cure. But humans have an infinite capacity to heal in their souls.

The Soul and Body Seek It.
A Lakota elder once came to me. He sat quietly as the room became still.
“Your doctors don’t know why we are here” he softly offered while looking up with a tilted head.
“They worry about our death”.
He shifted slowly to look at me.
“We know we will die”.
A long pause as he watched me.
“We are on a passage through this place. We collect relationships. We will take them with us.”
He smiled, paused, scooted forward, extended his hand, and ducked his head.
“Thank you doctor”. He stood, slowly turned and walked out my door.
The “Interpersonal”.
That’s what my pschology friends called it.
This place of mutual respect, shared existing, appreciation.
Fundamental to the core of our being.
Let’s seek it more often.
Frequently Asked Questions
My Priorities for You!
Everyday Health for Every Body
I will assist you with those everyday illness and injuries that are part of life. Usually, these problems are not complicated. I’ll help you understand and plan your next move.
Novel Health Aids
We are confronted with supplements, nutritional, medicines and interventions that claim improve your health. I’ll help you evaluate those claims and make choices that fit your personna and genetics.
Chronic Disease Prevention
Our bodies succomb, over time to the pressures of stress, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and toxins in our air and water. Our genetic predispositions interact with these forces and if we are genetically susceptible, a chronic disease can emerge. Prevention here means control of those forces. I’ll help you identify and minimize their influence on your body
Discretion
None of us feel good about sharing our health vulnerabilities with strangers. Waiting rooms serve an architectural function that is not related to your health. Let’s find a space to meet where I consider your concerns while honoring your privacy. I’ll come to you – your home, your work, your coffee nook. It’s your call.
