Philosophy:
Integral, holisticâ¦.the terms sound new age but they actually are old school. They describe traditional Family Medicine. I will provide you and your family with head to toe, cradle to rocking chair care. Although I no longer deliver babies, once mom brings you into the world, I take care of the rest. I continue to practice WomenâÂÂs Health, Pediatrics, Sports Medicine, Dermatology, Geriatrics and Hospital Medicine. I perform all the office procedures you would expect in a primary care setting. I will try my best to keep you out of the emergency room but if you need hospitalization, I will care for you there as well. Specialists have an âÂÂorganâ perspective but your sum is greater than your parts. You are a whole person with physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects. Keeping you healthy requires appreciation of every side of you. You and I are a team. My job is to share my knowledge so you can make informed decisions about your health. Your job is to take an active role to make it happen. My partners include Pediatrician Agnes Alikpala, Family Medicine Physician Robert Vazquez, and Geriatrician Jerry Franz. They help me provide you with comprehensive 24x7 care. I look forward to keeping you happy, healthy and vibrant.
