My Practice

This allows easy and direct communication for urgent rheumatology-related problems, should such occur outside of my regular office hours. I will use my reasonable best efforts to be available to speak with you and help coordinate your care should an acute rheumatology concern arise. (However, for medical emergencies, always call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Department immediately.)

You will receive a prompt response from me personally (usually within 24 hours) to text or email message(s). You may send a text message if a brief communication is appropriate. Because email and text communications are not encrypted thus not considered 100% privacy secure, please use your own discretion when electing to reach me via these platforms.

Appointments will generally be scheduled for approximately 30 minutes, or longer if needed. My aim is to afford you the time to thoroughly address all of your rheumatology-related questions and concerns.

As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, as relates to your rheumatology condition, my aim is to provide education for you about the role of fitness, dietary measures, and healthy living. In addition to up-to-date conventional rheumatology treatments, application of integrative modalities will be included in our approach, as applicable. These interventions may range from use of health supplements, to movement and exercise, to dietary suggestions, and mind-body techniques, as appropriate for each specific case. This will support your effort to take an active role in managing and maintaining your good health.

Monitoring of recommended laboratory tests, diagnostic studies such as x-rays, for example, and coordination of medication refills, applicable prior authorizations, and co-pay assistance programs will be provided, to help support optimal treatment.

With a smaller, individual-focused practice, there will be ample time to coordinate care with your primary care physician and other specialists, as needed.
