I am an internal medicine physician with 35 years of experience in primary care.

I have weathered the epic changes in medicine as our population doubled and medicine changing from personal care to population-based care.

I became most alarmed with the outbreak of the SARS-Co2 virus causing the epidemic of COVID-19 and the amount of mis- and disinformation out there for my patients.

I distill what I read in the scientific and popular literature and boil it down to its most practical for those of us living our lives day to day.

I try to stay with the scientifically-proven when recommending one thing or another and freely admit when there is something available that might be helpful, but yet has not proven to be helpful.

I subscribe to a number of supplement websites and peruse many sites that espouse one thing or another.

I always place priority on what is scientifically proven, then what makes good sense based on a variety of information, and lastly what is espoused as one person’s opinion. I place minimal credence in commercial marketing material.

Questions are always welcome to those in my practice, but for others, please contact your PCP for their advice.

I now practice a membership model of medicine. For more information about my practice and those similar, please contact MDVIP.com.

My opinions are open to all who view my site, regardless of participation in my practice.
