I specialize in difficult, chronic and unusual cases; people who have "tried everything" and still have the problem, possibly compounded by side-effects from medication. People in these circumstances need a practitioner who will really listen, and thoughtfully explore the case, looking for underlying causes and real results. It takes a passion for medical detective work combined with compassion and patience to work through complicated health problems. It cannot happen in the standard 12-minute doctor visit yielding a standardized solution. The words from patients that touch me most are, "Thank you for not giving up on me."
