How my practice works
The visit is only part of the job. Most of the work happens afterward, in watching how a plan goes, answering questions as they come up, and changing what isn't working. I built my practice so I'd have time for that part.
Your first visit
Our first visit is a real conversation, and it usually runs an hour or more. I read your records before we meet, so we can spend that hour on you: what you're noticing, what you've already tried, and what you want from your health.
You'll leave with a clear direction and a few things you can start this week. At every visit after that, we look at how the plan is going and change it when your life changes.
Unhurried visits
As long as the visit needs
First visits usually run an hour or more. A quick follow-up might take fifteen minutes. I set the schedule around the visit.
By video, from wherever you are
We meet over secure video. We can look at your labs together on screen, go through your medicines, and track how things change over months.
Messages between visits
Send me a message in the Hint patient portal when something comes up, and I'll usually answer the same day or the next business day. If it needs a conversation, we'll book a visit.
The same provider every time
You see me at every visit, so your history stays with one person who knows it. Some patterns only show up after years of watching.
Everyday habits
How you feel twenty years from now depends mostly on what you do in a typical week: how you sleep, eat, move, and handle stress. That's where most of our work happens, so I measure progress in habits that last, blood pressure moving the right way, and better sleep.
Labs, specialists, and emergencies
My practice is all telehealth, with no office for blood draws, imaging, or procedures. When something has to happen in person, I set it up with someone near you.
Lab work
I order your labs through a partner lab close to you, and you choose the location. Cash prices are often a fraction of what insurance gets billed. When results come back, I go over them with you in plain language.
Imaging and specialists
For mammograms, colonoscopies, dermatology, cardiology, or any other specialist, I refer you to someone I trust in your area, send along your history, and follow up on what they find.
Hospitals and emergencies
For anything urgent, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Most of my patients keep a high-deductible insurance plan for hospital care, and I'm happy to talk through how the two fit together.
Let's see if it's a fit.
The first call is free and takes fifteen minutes. We'll talk about what you're looking for, and if my practice isn't right for you, I'll help you find someone who is.
