About Mountain Medical Practice

More About Us

Reno-Tahoe Sierra

Common conditions treated include low back pain, stiff neck, tendon tears, arthritis, muscle aches, and pinched nerves. 

Some folks come directly from the nearby slopes of Mount Rose seeking care for new sprains and strains.  Others visit routinely to reduce chronic pain and to offset the long-term effects of old injuries. 

Electromyography (EMG) is performed on-site to detect nerve damage.  GlycoCheck digital video analysis is done live on-the-spot to visualize microscopic capillary blood flow essential for healing.

We welcome patients from near and far to our alpine Sierra Nevada location in Washoe County.

Boutique Medical Suite

Our facility is designed to provide patients with multiple options for accessing health care, including private visits, a walk-in clinic, and telehealth. 

We provide medical treatment and diagnostic services often covered by many health insurance plans.  We also provide advanced care and alternative options not covered by traditional insurance plans.

Philosophy

I believe that the path to health & wellness begins with freedom & personal choice.

As a physician, I am here to guide you at every step along the way at your request.  Taking the time to listen to patients can be very revealing.  I rely on the traditional multi-system physical examination as the mainstay of clinical diagnosis in my practice.  Prudent medical judgment and clinical instinct based on years of experience and long-term patient relationships often prevail over predetermined algorithms.

Streamline Treatment

The risks versus benefits of every treatment should be clearly delineated and carefully weighed. The least invasive remedy should be used and at minimum should do no harm.

Maximize Resilience

The body can be very resilient with a large capacity for adaptation and self-healing. Motivation and recalibration of mind and vital energy often play a big role.
