Combining Health Care with Hospitality & Convenience
Through the years, I’ve watched our healthcare system transform. From my perspective, bridging old and new methods can achieve the best outcomes, and advanced technology should be integrated with traditional, patient-centered care.
I’ve had the invaluable opportunity to have worked with mentors who practiced what they preached, and with a very gifted hands-on approach were able to successfully meet and treat patients from Park Avenue to park bench, attracting both the rich and famous as well as everyday people from all walks of life who sought care in a practice where medicine was the great equalizer and everyone was a VIP patient.
Participating in the physical rehabilitation of highly motivated patients on the road to recovery is always rewarding. In my daily evaluation of low back aches and radiating pain, it is essential to differentiate between neurological and vascular causes for common symptoms of leg cramps, numbness, fatigue, and weakness. Evaluating and maintaining microvascular health is the key to predicting overall health, capacity for healing, response to anti-aging treatments, and for preventing common pathologies, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, dementia, and more.
While most of my practice is in the outpatient setting on the west coast, I do intermittently provide inpatient rehabilitation coverage at select facilities on the east coast. When at home in Washoe County, I love hiking in the Sierras, and I am a bunny slope skier. In addition to spending time with my family, some of my interests and great loves include Lake Tahoe, turquoise, horses, cats, antiques, and furniture restoration.
In “rehabilitating” furniture, I have worked with some very talented individuals to refinish, reupholster, and ultimately give new life and longevity to many cherished family heirlooms. I try to use the natural resources that surround us to an advantage. In fact, the waiting room Adirondack style chairs upon which our visitors sit have literally risen from the ashes of the Little Valley Fire of October 2016. The scorched ponderosa pines were salvaged and transformed to enhance their burnt wood rustic elegance.
