In a world full of rush, I want to be the doctor who takes the time to listen, to heal, and to care.

It is with incredibly mixed emotions that I inform you of my decision to leave my current practice. As I move into a new chapter, I realize how profoundly grateful I am for all of the relationships and perfect moments we have shared. As you well know- there has been lots of laughing, a few tears, big hugs, and many, many beautiful moments. I reflect on the last 15 years of being your doctor and your presence in my life- I am simply overwhelmed with joy. 

Many of you have already discovered that the current healthcare system is not working well- for patients or their providers. Patients cannot easily access their doctor and often feel rushed during appointments. Doctors are overwhelmed with the endless amounts of paperwork and insane work loads.  

When it comes to practicing medicine these days, most providers feel like they are furiously pedaling a bike with a profoundly flat wheel and missing seat.  And that cute little bell on the handle bar?  Nope!  That doesn’t work either!  

For all of those reasons and more, I am moving to a new model of medicine.  It’s called direct primary care and I am very excited to see how it will benefit my families.  It cuts out many of the barriers that exist for your care and allows me to do the work that I love.  Unfortunately, there is one thing that I will miss: providing pregnancy care. However, I will continue to provide care for every other stage of life from babies to boomers. Stay tuned for more information over the next months.
