I have been practicing in this area since 1986 and have seen the many positive advances in delivering high quality , efficient care. There are challenges in delivering this care due to the bureaucracy in obtaining authorization for medication, testing and procedures but this should not deter us from our goal. I welcome questions as I believe that the more information you have about your health the better decisions we can make together.
