I am a board certified internal medicine physician who specializes in preventative and hospital medicine. I noticed significant flaws within the healthcare system early on in my practice.

I too felt it was becoming impossible to deliver the best care within this broken healthcare system. This is what inspired me to start private practice at Compassionate Med Consulting, where my patients are partners in their care to build better health according to their goals and values. My focus is on reversing disease and improving quality of life through holistic and preventative care rather than chronic disease maintenance. We can help if you feel frustrated and hopeless about your health. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive consultation!
