This will allow easy and direct communications for urgent medical problems that occur outside of our regular office hours. Ideally, I want to hear from you when you are ill or injured to coordinate your care. However, for true emergencies always call 911 first.

You will receive a prompt (usually within 24 hours) response from me personally. The most secure method of email communication is through the MyChart portal. You may also email me personally. Because personal email communication is not secure, please use discretion when choosing topics to discuss with me via this platform.

Due to my smaller patient panel, with the exception of your Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment, most office visits will be available on short notice, at your request, even for minor or non-urgent medical problems, regardless of medical necessity.

Office visits will start promptly and we will have more time to thoroughly address all of your questions and concerns at each visit. Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment appointments, excluding Welcome to Medicare examinations, are scheduled for approximately 60 minutes and all other appointments for approximately 30 minutes.

As part of our commitment to your long-term health, we will provide a more comprehensive approach to your overall well-being, beyond the wellness benefits provided by insurance coverage. Each patient who participates will be encouraged to take part in setting their own goals and will receive a personalized plan and ongoing support. With my guidance, my experienced PAs Julie Tocci and Irina Supruniuk, will use their certified training in health coaching to help you reach your wellness goals. My philosophy is to educate you about your personal medical needs and risks. We will work with you on a continual basis to assess your level of fitness, provide weight management guidance and advice on leading a healthy lifestyle. In addition, we will work with you to support your emotional well-being through education, allowing you to take an active role in maintaining your best health.

If you are in an independent or skilled nursing facility, on a temporary or permanent basis, I will be involved with your care through periodic site visits and communications with those involved with your care. These visits will be offered at no additional charge beyond an office visit fee. However, the need for each out-of-office visit will be determined on a case-by-case basis, at my discretion.

For your convenience, I will offer complimentary parking at my office building. Please ensure my staff validates your parking ticket at the time of your visit.

A seasonal newsletter on medical subjects of interest will be provided to you.
